Animal Matters: Rangers. Rhinos. Redemption.

Part of the Fall 2018 Animal Matters Seminars: Human-Wildlife Conflict Seminar Series
presented by Tufts Center for Animals and Public Policy with Tufts Elephant Conservation Alliance (TECA)

Speaker: Matt Lindenberg
Executive Director, Global Conservation Corps

Since 2008, Rhino Poaching in South Africa has increased exponentially. On average, we lose 3 rhinos a day and at this rate of poaching, rhinos very well may be extinct within the wild during our lifetimes. The main reason we still have rhinos left to talk about are the brave and committed rangers on the front lines. These individuals put their lives on the lines every day, and are the unsung heroes of conservation.

During this presentation, we discuss the drivers behind rhino poaching, the value of rangers, the future of African conservation, and how the Global Conservation Corps (GCC) is taking a unique approach to curb the African poaching crisis. We will also be showing some exclusive footage from the upcoming GCC Documentary: RHINO MAN which highlights Africa’s incredible rangers and their extraordinary lives.

Made possible by the generous support of: Elizabeth A. Lawrence Endowed Fund
