Prince of Wales announces insurance for rangers who safeguard Africa's wildlife

Ranges are fundamental if we are to meet our global conservation targets for 20-30 and prevent the dangerous tipping points that threaten our planet. These people do far more than protect wildlife. They are educators, they are community supporters and they help regulate the sustainable use of natural resources. And globally, 1400 ranges have been killed in the past decade. We cannot protect our planet without a well supported workforce. Currently fewer than 300,000 ranges are working globally, but estimates suggest we need five times that to properly meet our conservation commitments. That is why I'm proud to announce the United of Wildlife, in collaboration with The Game Rangers Association of Africa and Tusk Trust, is launching a new life insurance product specifically designed for Rangers across Africa. This initiative aims to ensure that Rangers receive much needed life insurance cover, giving them and their families reassurance that they are protected for the dangerous job they do.
