Inagural 4x4 Toyota Conservation Outreach that took place in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana & South Africa

2. Following the successes of 7 years of the 4x4 Eco Challenge, the Toyota 4x4 Conservation Outreach was born out of a lifelong dream of Game Ranger Association of Africa to reach out to their fellow rangers, often in very remote locations, to extend the hand of brotherhood , by sharing experience, knowledge and universal problems. The first steps have been taken towards building bridges across borders between different conservation agencies, governments and local game rangers.

5. The main objective of the Southern Africa Wildlife College is to provide people from Africa with the required motivation and relevant skills to manage and conserve their protected areas and associated fauna and flora on a sustainable basis in cooperation with local communities. The main objective of the Game Rangers Association of Africa is to ensure that game rangers from Africa are adequately trained and equipped to carry out their work. Maintain good contact and communication between Game Rangers especially in Africa and support and promote wildlife management activities in Africa. A vital component of Peace Parks Foundation’s objectives is to develop programmes that provide a reasonable alternative to deforestation and continued land-degradation with communities living adjacent to the parks.
