Deep in the heart of Kenya lies a fragile sanctuary — a critical elephant nursery and one of the last remaining habitats of the critically endangered topi antelope. This land is a lifeline not just for elephants, but for countless species of birds, big cats, and indigenous plants that hold together one of the most unique ecosystems on Earth.

But today, this sanctuary faces its greatest threat — from poachers & from mining interests that want to use bulldozers to mine for minerals in this critical elephant nursery grounds. Elephants come to the forest here when pregnant and nursing to eat the nutrient dense figs from the trees here. This in INCREDIBLY important to their survival and under huge threat by these mining companies - a real life AVATAR situation and Raabia and her rangers are the only ones defending the forest and trying to stop this from happening. Donations to her Ulinzi Africa Foundation is CRUCIAL to keep her team going and supported. PLEASE DONATE WHATEVER YOU CAN.

Raabia Hawa, a renowned wildlife activist and conservationist, has dedicated her life to safeguarding Kenya’s wildlife. With a small, passionate team of rangers, she has stood as a shield between vulnerable animals and the relentless forces that seek to destroy them. Every day, these rangers risk their lives — patrolling dense forest, deterring poaching, preventing illegal logging, and monitoring endangered species.

Their mission is clear: protect the elephants, safeguard the topi antelope, and keep this forest alive for future generations.

But without urgent funding, operations will come to a standstill. Ranger salaries — the backbone of this entire mission — are at risk. And when the rangers leave, so does the last line of defense for the elephants, the topi, and the land itself.

Your support will directly fund:

Salaries for frontline rangers who patrol and protect this land.

Equipment and basic supplies to ensure their safety in the field.

Monitoring and preservation of the elephant nursery and endangered topi habitat.

✨ Imagine a future where elephants roam free, the topi antelope thrive again, and Kenya’s forests remain untouched — this is the future Raabia and her team are fighting for, but they cannot do it alone.

Every dollar counts. Every donation keeps a ranger in the field. Every act of generosity becomes a shield for the voiceless.

Stand with Raabia. Stand with the rangers. Stand for the elephants, the topi, and the forest.

Donate today — because once these habitats are gone, we can never get them back.

EDUCATIONAL AWARENESS AND ENVIRONMENTAL AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION PROJECTS

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even just a few dollars can help move this mission forward and reach those who need it most.

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to me.

Generation Awakening is proud to support this fundraiser with 100% of funds raised going to support Ulinzi Africa Foundation’s rangers where their goal is simple: To stop the illegal and unsustainable killing of wildlife in Kenya's Tana River and Delta zones.

In the last 3 months alone, our ranger teams have rescued wild animals from traps, arrested poachers and traffickers, and directly saved thousands of animals from being killed for their meat, skins or tusks.

Our continued presence and operations in this area is critical for the wildlife to survive and the communities living nearby to access assistance where possible, but we are overwhelmed and need your support this giving season.

Important species in this area include:

Elephants. The Tana River delta was once an elephant stronghold. Numbers now are estimated to be in the region of a few hundred.

Coastal Topi. The Coastal Topi is an endemic species found nowhere else. Numbers are estimated to range around 3,800 individuals that remain heavily targeted by bushmeat poachers. Our priority to is reduce and, if possible, eliminate the impact of illegal hunting, allowing the species to stabilize and recover.

Dik-Dik. The smallest antelope in Kenya, Dik-Diks pair for life, raising one young for 8-10 months. This points towards what could be an irreversible local extinction should the trend continue; with the species unable to reproduce successfully due to lack of their breeding pair partner, and also immediate loss of the next generation since many of those taken out are gestating females.

This may be the last opportunity to save these species in the wild, failure to which there would be a necessity for massive intervention measures to recover the species. We cannot afford to reach this stage. We have an opportunity to save them today. Will you help us?

YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL:
