COVID Field Ranger Food Appeal
Tax deductible
GCC is organizing this fundraiser to provide food for the families of field rangers protecting the wildlife at the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, South Africa.
The current COVID-19 crisis is expected to negatively impact the tourism industry with a decline in revenue of 20 to 30%. In Africa, it is estimated that the pandemic would cost the sector almost $4 billion. During these difficult times, African wildlife has come under increased poaching threats and pressure, which leaves rangers in a precarious position. The field rangers are the last lines of defense in keeping these animals safe, which also ensures a thriving future economy and industry for many. It is therefore up to the citizens of this world, to ensure rangers are supported throughout this crisis.
The Global Conservation Corps has joined forces with the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve and Hoedspruit Spar to support the families of rangers during this time. With rangers and their families being separated for months combined with dwindling economic stability, it is up to us to step in with direct support. Join this mission to provide food to the ranger families for the next six months (May - October). It costs $53 (approximately R995) to provide an entire ranger family with the following essential food items which will last for a month:
10kg Rice
10kg Flour
10kg Protein (Chicken)
1kg Pasta
4 tins of Beans
Assorted Vegetables
2L Juice
2L Cooking Oil
100 x Tea Bags
5kg Brown sugar
Soup
Spices
Bath Soap
3kg Washing Powder
Toothpaste
Dishwashing Soap
Tissues
GCC will be personally delivering food packages to 50 families on a monthly basis for the next six months. We will keep you updated on how your donations are making a difference to the field rangers and their families.
Thank you so much for your help and generosity,
