Overview

Veterans for Wildlife is an international charity established in 2016 in direct response to the dramatic increase in wildlife crime, particularly rhino and elephant poaching, in Africa. The charity contributes to the prevention of wildlife crime by tapping into the skills and experience of former service personnel from across the globe. As a people-centric organisation, Veterans for Wildlife has two primary objectives: - Supporting conservation entities and rangers at the grassroots level. - Empowering and continuing to develop former service personnel. By facilitating critical capacity-building programmes, Veterans for Wildlife contributes to the ongoing development of wildlife crime prevention and law enforcement agencies. Moreover, these programmes offer unique opportunities to veterans, transitioning into civilian life, to continue to make a positive impact on society.
