Rangers
protecting
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
