Damien Mander & Vimbai Kumire - Frontlines of the Ivory Wars

From the front lines of conservation in Zimbabwe: Conservationist Damien Mander presents the work of IAPF and the Women Warriors of the Akashinga Project. This is a rare chance for you to be part of the solution, to hear about the activities putting a stop to poaching - shared with you by someone leading front line efforts to protect endangered species.
In 2017 Vimbai Kumire heard that the IAPF was recruiting women to be rangers. With her brother’s encouragement she applied and was deployed as a ranger in the pioneering Akashinga team. Since becoming a ranger, she has consistently demonstrated her grit, discipline and leadership, resulting in her promotion to Sergeant and Squad Leader of Akashinga Ranger Team One. As a single mother of two, she can now afford a home, support her mother and send her children to school. “If you do something wrong to my animals, I will catch you.” -Vimbai Kumire
