The LEAD Ranger program delivers tailored training, long-term support and mentoring to develop wildlife crime-enforcement leaders and instructors who remain based in the ecosystems they are protecting.
In remote, dynamic and demanding environments, rangers need access to continuous professional development by their peers, in their own language and their own workplace. We provide this solution.
The program works with an expanding network of well-established conservation organisations to instil a culture of competence, learning and conservation leadership.
This program is a collaborative initiative by the IAPF, the Thin Green Line Foundation, and Ranger Campus. Our goal is to train rangers that collectively protect 50 million acres.
The program provides them with solutions of long term support in the form of the lesson materials, mentoring and refresher courses.
The LEAD Ranger program is ISO 9001 certified, an internationally recognised certification that ensures benchmarks of high-quality standards using relevant, up-to-date and evidence-based curriculum.

more animals protected
Poachers don’t rest, so we can’t either but we can't do it alone.
