Summary

Support women's empowerment and wildlife conservation by sponsoring a female forest ranger in Colombia. Partnering with ProAves, we train and employ rural women as forest guards in critical biodiversity hotspots. With your help, we aim to raise $9,500 to cover training, gear, and one year's salary for a new female forest guard. Join us in making a lasting impact on both endangered wildlife and gender equality in conservation.

Challenge

Rural communities near biodiversity hotspots face challenges of wildlife extinction and gender inequality. Women are often underrepresented in conservation leadership roles, while biodiversity-rich regions demand effective protection to prevent species loss. With limited resources and opportunities, empowering women to become forest rangers not only benefits wildlife but also addresses gender disparities.

Solution

Our project trains and employs female forest rangers to protect endangered and endemic wildlife in Colombia's biodiversity-rich nature reserves managed by ProAves. By equipping women with necessary skills and gear, we enable them to safeguard these critical ecosystems. Empowering women as guardians of nature has dual benefits: strengthening wildlife conservation efforts and promoting gender equality in conservation leadership.

Long-Term Impact

By sponsoring a female forest ranger, you contribute to a lasting impact on both local communities and the environment. Empowered women serve as role models, challenging traditional gender roles and inspiring future generations to engage in conservation. The protection of critical biodiversity areas is crucial for preserving endangered species and maintaining healthy ecosystems. Your support not only directly benefits wildlife but also fosters sustainable conservation practices and gender equity
