Meet Julius, Wildlife Ranger in Zambia Sponsored by PROJECT RANGER | Great Plains Foundation

Project Ranger is a Great Plains Foundation grant-making initiative where funds are raised to sponsor other ranger units around the world. Conservation Lower Zambezi (CLZ) is a non-profit committed to protecting the Lower Zambezi in Zambia, which comprises almost 20.000km2 of National Park and community-owned Game Management Area. Since its humble beginnings, CLZ’s work has grown to include not only support to DNPW but also an Environmental Education Programme, a Community Scout Unit, a Community Engagement Programme, a K9 anti-poaching unit and a Rapid Response Unit. CLZ is supported in large part by tourism operators based in the Lower Zambezi who have been seriously impacted by COVID-19. Project Ranger was able to help CLZ bridge the gap in their budget resulting from lost tourism revenue and allow them to keep ranger boots on the ground during the pandemic. Project Ranger has sponsored CLZ to keep their rangers on the ground doing valuable work in protecting this vital ecosystem and the wildlife that lives within it.
