a member of Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) anti poaching team stands ready with an axe, over the carcass of an elephant slaughtered earlier by poachers. The elephant was discovered by a joint team of KWS and conservancy rangers. The gruesome task of removing the ivory from the elephant falls to those attending the scene from KWS. Once removed, the ivory will be transported to a place of secure store where it will remain, until such a time as the world decides it’s future..photograph by David Chancellor @chancellordavid for @ナショナルジオグラフィック from work documenting community conservation in northern Kenya - ‘with butterflies and warriors’. Five wildlife rangers and three other men working in wildlife protection lost their lives in four separate countries in the past month, highlighting the numerous hazards rangers and their colleagues face in protecting the world’s wild lands and species. Sadly we are becoming accustomed to this reality. Let’s not forget that it falls to those very same individuals, who give their lives on our behalf to protect the wildlife, to also deal with the carnage when poachers sadly succeed, or worse still leave an animal mortally wounded.
@forrangers are a dedicated group of individuals who are raising money for the welfare of rangers who risk their lives daily to protect Africa’s endangered species. Rather than just tell the story – the @forrangers team hope that by taking part in some of the hardest, most challenging endurance events on the planet, they can draw attention not only to the plight of Africa’s wildlife, and the poaching crisis, but the hardships and dangers the rangers are exposed to in trying to protect our wildlife - and in doing so, raise funds that go directly to rangers’ welfare. On the 9th of March @forrangers CO founder @newlandpete will be starting the 6633 Arctic Ultra Marathon to raise funds for @forrangers. I’ll keep updating with Pete’s progress as and when we hear from him.
