Akashinga

Akashinga Rangers walk for hours each day, patrolling on foot to protect wildlife and communities. Foot patrols aren’t easy - but they give Rangers better awareness, help prevent poaching, and strengthen the ecosystems they protect. #Akashinga #RangerPatrol #WildlifeProtection

On National Tree Planting Day, Akashinga partnered with communities around the Phundundu Concession to plant Indigenous trees grown at our own nursery - supporting ecosystem restoration, climate resilience, and community-led conservation. #Akashinga #CommunityConservation

The African Civet is a vital seed disperser and nocturnal indicator species in Akashinga’s Phundundu and Songo reserves. Camera traps show healthy habitat use, but civets remain vulnerable to wire snares. Protecting habitat protects them. #AfricanCivet #ConservationScience

We mourn the passing of Craig - one of Africa’s most iconic super tusker elephants. For decades he roamed Amboseli, his immense tusks a symbol of resilience and conservation. Rest in peace, Craig. Photographs by Nitin Madhav. #CraigTheSuperTusker #Elephants #ProtectElephants

As we begin 2026, Akashinga is strengthening conservation through science-led decision-making, unified digital systems, enhanced ranger support, and deeper community-centred programmes, building lasting protection for wildlife and people. #Akashinga #ConservationScience

Our frontline is female - skilled, steady, and rooted in community. The pressures facing people and wildlife don’t pause with the calendar, and neither does our commitment. Your support strengthens every patrol and every protected acre. #Akashinga #WomenRangers

The Nyamakate Waste Management Project is reducing pollution and creating income through community-led recycling. 10 committee members manage operations, 15 bins installed, and recyclables sold in Harare for US$0.15–0.30/kg. #Akashinga #Recycling

The Second Class of Akashinga Rangers graduated at N'Dzinda Camp in Mozambique on Nov. 11, 2025. After 3 months of intensive training, these women are ready to lead in conservation, community development, and girls’ education. #AkashingaRangers #WomenInConservation

Wildlife doesn’t need perfect landscapes - it needs low human impact and room to move. Elephants and other large mammals were built for vast ranges, but development has fractured those pathways. Reconnected wildlife corridors are essential for long-term survival. #Akashinga

Across Southern Africa, Akashinga’s women rangers spent 2025 protecting elephants, rescuing endangered turtles, and supporting communities - all backed by global supporters. But poaching and climate pressures persist. Stand with the frontline as the year closes.  #Akashinga

“I joined Akashinga wanting a better life and a chance to protect nature…7 years later, I’m supporting operations, solving problems and helping guide the team.” Courage. Growth. Leadership in action. #Akashinga #WomenInConservation #RangerSpotlight

Newly trained rangers from our joint partnership with @ZimParks have been deployed to Mana Pools - their first assignment following a pass-out parade in Chinhoyi. A key step in strengthening conservation capacity on the ground. #Akashinga #ZimParks #Rangers

Our Turtle Guard team rescued a juvenile, critically endangered hawksbill turtle caught in a chicocota net at Chidano Beach. It was healthy and safely released offshore. This is our second juvenile hawksbill rescue in the Save Seascape this year. #Akashinga #MarineConservation

Women rangers across Africa are stepping into conservation leadership with strength and vision. This is the future we’re building: conservation that’s shared, inclusive, and led by women. It’s not too late to give. Stand with them today. #Akashinga #WomenRangers

Time is running out. Tonight, you can stand with the women protecting wildlife and communities across Africa. Your gift equips, trains, and supports the frontline. Give before midnight. Hold the line. #Akashinga #WomenRangers #FrontlineConservation #GivingTuesday

This Giving Tuesday, stand with the women defending Africa’s wildlife and communities. Akashinga Rangers lead with knowledge, courage, and resilience - but they cannot hold the line without you. #Akashinga #WomenRangers #GivingTuesday

The frontline can’t wait. Every day, rural women, including Akashinga Rangers, face the pressure of ecosystems under strain. They cannot do it alone. Stand with the frontline today and help communities grow strong. #Akashinga #WomenRangers #FrontlineConservation
