Camouflage For Conservation

Donation protected
JOIN THE HERD!  HUG A HERO AND SAVE AN ELEPHANT!  It all starts with your tax-deductible donation!

Camouflage For Conservation's (C4C) mission is to honor and support American Military Veterans through coordinated, challenging, and engaging volunteer global expeditions, while leveraging their considerable experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, and passions to advise and assist organizations in the execution and accomplishment of wildlife protection and conservation efforts.


The Situation:
Thousands of Military Veterans are recovering from wounds, both mental and physical, received during the longest period of war in the history of the United States. Still many more heroes suffer in silence, their wounds left untreated, while Veteran suicide rates continue to rise. As the conflicts draw on and evolve, so too does the attention of the American People, at times forgetting the sacrifices made by our Military Veterans on the field of battle for causes and conflicts not easily recognized by all.

There exists another conflict. One that has gone on for far longer than those of our recent history, and one with many more casualties. In a global war between greed and the preservation of our planet’s most iconic wildlife from the threat of extinction, the animals are losing. Criminals are poaching these beautiful creatures to the brink of annihilation in order to provide for an ever-present demand on the black market, and many habitat countries lack the willingness, legal framework, or resources to stop it.

What we can do:
The United States Military trains service members in hundreds of military occupations and maintains a high degree of proficiency and effectiveness through continual instruction, frequent practical application, and deployment. From engineers to intelligence officers, police officers to mechanics, logistics specialists to aviators, and many more specialties, the military provides the very best with the very best. These skilled and dedicated volunteers carry this profound knowledge, considerable abilities, and tremendous experiences with them into the civilian workforce upon their discharge. In addition, these men and women possess a sense of duty and dedication not often found outside uniformed service.

Assess, Assist, and Advise. C4C will form special all-volunteer teams with particular functional expertise in a variety of occupations to deploy anywhere around the globe and collaborate with those serving to protect wildlife. Through interactive assessment, these teams will assist and advise conservation workers in tactics, techniques, procedures, and best practices that they may employ to enhance capabilities and conduct their honorable work protecting our natural world. These teams can also assess and direct donated equipment to those who need it.

What you can do:
Give.  Your tax-deductible donations will help us form, equip, and deploy teams around the world to assess, advise, and assist conservation efforts. Your generosity will also help us to provide needed resources to wildlife rangers in the field.  Donate now!

Sponsor.  If you would like to become a C4C sponsor and join us in changing the world, or if you want to sponsor an individual hero or team on a mission, please contact us directly.

Team Resolute - C4C’s inaugural expedition!

C4C Team Resolute Media Kit

In October 2017, a team of combat-wounded military veterans will climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa, then interact with African Wildlife Rangers conducting anti-poaching patrols.

The objectives of the expedition are to repay these wounded heroes for their selfless service, demonstrate the strength, capabilities, and resiliency of our warriors, while reminding the world of their continuing personal struggles, and to leverage their considerable skills to enhance the capabilities of anti-poaching teams on the frontline in the war against illicit wildlife trafficking.  Your support is crucial to achieving these objectives.  Please donate whatever you can...sponsor a hero!

Donations will pay the travel and equipment expenses for the team and provide necessary resources and support to anti-poaching units and the protection of Africa's iconic endangered species.

C4C is sponsored by Uniform Outreach, a 501(c)(3) organization that supports programs and opportunities for veterans, their families and populations affected by crisis. (EIN#81-4657242).  Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

All donors will receive regular email updates on the expedition's progress and will be recognized in the published final report.  Any donation of $10,000 or more will receive an autographed and framed picture of the team displaying a personalized "thank you" banner on the summit of Kilimanjaro.

Even the smallest amount will make a difference, aid in the recovery of these amazing warriors, and directly benefit wildlife conservation efforts in Africa.
