Field equipment for Rangers forms part of the necessary enabling environment which in turn supports the efficacy of Rangers living and patrolling in the protected areas of the Lower Zambezi Valley. 2021-2022 Tashinga Initiative has been able to provide 120 backpacks and 440 pairs of boots to LZV Rangers including 200 pairs of Jim Green AR8 patrol Boots!

Thick Zambezi jesse bush, and harsh rocky conditions underfoot mean that these items need regular replacements and to this end, Tashinga Initiative seeks ongoing funding to meet these requirements.

Also provided have been Blackview devices, field charging solar devices for use by Rangers and SMART Cybertracker managers.

There continues to be a very heavy dependency upon philanthropic contributions towards the per sq km costs of protecting wildlife areas.
