Sierra Designs tents has donated five Lightning XT 2- and 3-person tents for the wildlife rangers of the South Rift Game Scouts Association. Also on the way, due to the generosity of several other donors, are five Garmin GPSs and five waterproof Bushnell binoculars. We will be taking them to Kenya next week. This equipment will help the new scouts association in their mission to combat poaching of wildlife, and to continue their fieldwork gathering data and ensuring the safety of community members and tourists in the South Rift.

Shop now to support wildlife rangers
Wildlife rangers provide vital anti-poaching patrols and community protection services for Kenya’s protected areas. The most successful units are founded and run out of Maasai communities surrounding the two most game-rich areas: Amboseli-Tsavo and the South Rift Valley. The new South Rift Game Scouts need equipment and uniforms—they receive no government funding, all support comes from the Maasai communities. They need GPS units, binoculars, tents, and uniforms and we'll take a load of gear on our September conservation expedition. Click here for details and to donate or shop for conservation now.
