2025 Christmas Appeal
Equipping Nature's Protectors
Your donation will place essential gear – boots, radios, first-aid kits, protective clothing – directly into the hands of rangers on the frontlines of conservation.
Equip a ranger, and you help to protect nature.
Rangers are key
to global conservation.
Despite their importance
rangers are drastically undertrained and under-equipped.
Around 150 rangers
lose their lives in the line of duty each year. We support their families.
Thin Green Line
supports rangers in their role as nature’s protectors and first responders.
Rangers are the missing link in conservation. That’s why I’ll do everything I can to support The Thin Green Line Foundation
— Dr Jane Goodall, DBE

Fuel for the Frontline: Keeping Zambian Rangers in the Field
In South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, conservation isn’t just shaped by policies – it’s carried on the shoulders of rangers who patrol one of the continent’s most important wildlife landscapes.
When abrupt funding cuts left ranger teams unable to carry out multi-day patrols, even the protection of iconic species suddenly hinged on something as basic as food.

When Simple Equipment Saves Nature: The Story of Sierra de Los Agustinos’ Rangers
Rangers in Mexico’s Sierra de Los Agustinos are protecting one of the country’s most important natural refuge – 200 square kilometres of forest that shelter bobcats, migrating Monarch butterflies, and over 100,000 people who rely on its water. Yet until recently, these dedicated rangers were patrolling without even the most basic equipment, facing forest fires, venomous snakes, and emergency callouts with little more than their determination.

From Patrols to Protection: Saving Indonesia’s Forest Giants
In the forests of Borneo, orangutans and gibbons face growing threats from deforestation and the illegal wildlife trade. A small team of dedicated rangers patrol thousands of hectares to keep these iconic animals safe – often in extremely challenging conditions. Thanks to support from the Thin Green Line community, these frontline protectors have more of the resources they need to give Borneo’s wildlife a fighting chance.
