What We Do
OUR MISSION
How We Work
1. Policy & Procedures : we develop training policies, Standard Operating Procedures & any governance that guides conduct, delivery and implementation
2. Systems & Tools : we build an integrated system that enables collective adaptation between teams rather than siloing them. Connecting decision-makers with field teams (bio-monitoring, rangers and communities).
3. People & Skills: We develop confident professionals, capable teams and effective leaders. Tools are nothing without people understanding how to use them or what to do.
Advise
We use cutting-edge technology to know the field inside and out. From bio-monitoring to surveillance, to conducting safeguarding assessments for human rights, understanding the landscape is critical to orientate tactical, operational, strategic and fair law enforcement. This includes:
- Optimising and harnessing data to understand the socio-politico-ecological environment.
- Integrating SERCA (EarthRanger – SMART) on every site
- Focusing ranger interventions based on the data and establish control over key parts of the landscape.
- Establishing coordination & cooperation amongst stakeholders at all levels based on empirically-supported trends.
- Using bio-monitoring to gain insight on wildlife trends.
Enable
We build capacity at ranger, leadership and institutional levels to support the leaders of conservation for the future. This involves:
- Training rangers inside and outside of the classroom (covering all grounds: physical, environmental, navigational, legal, medical, human rights, leadership…).
- Training leaders and providing management support
- Enhancing local logistics & procurement (deploying EarthRanger / SMART (SERCA) technology, building Operations rooms, providing equipment…).
- Enhancing capabilities within the context of recognised environmental and conservation legislative frameworks, strengthening proactive and reactive protocols through to prosecution and judiciary capacity.
Support
We reinforce capacity at community level, and enhance virtuous relationships between law enforcement, community and wildlife protection, while also ensuring teams feel supported. This includes:
- Integrating Ranger Welfare and Psychological Wellbeing across the sites we work in
- Working hand in hand with organisations on the ground involved in community work (human rights, women empowerment…) to strengthen bridges between law enforcement, conservation and communities.
- Encouraging and training rangers to become local champions for conservation, and to raise awareness in their community.
- Collaborating with conservation research to make use of ranger skill and time in the field (One Health, bio monitoring, snare-wire removal…).
- Providing wildlife protection tools like detection dogs.
