RHINO CONSERVATION AWARDS 2020 WINNERS ANNOUNCED

• News & Highlights

On World Ranger Day, the winners of the prestigious Rhino Conservation Awards were officially announced during an online event to celebrate the people and organisations who work constantly to reduce the threats and increase the sustainability of conservation efforts in Africa.

This year, the Rhino Conservation Awards broadened their focus to include those working in endangered species conservation. The primary objective of the awards is to give recognition to the leading role players in endangered species conservation and in doing so bring their crucial work to the world’s attention.

‘What better way to celebrate World Ranger Day than recognising the incredible efforts of these rangers and those who support them. Well done to those nominated, the finalists and of course the winners. You all continue to inspire us!’ Andrew Campbell, Chief Executive Officer, Game Rangers Association of Africa.

Every finalist is a deserved winner and the judge’s task is not an enviable one. Each individual and organization nominated deserves recognition and acknowledgement for the incredible work they do to save Africa’s natural heritage. The Rhino Conservation Awards provides the platform to celebrate these committed, selfless and courageous individuals and organisations who are making a difference.

‘This year has seen an incredible list of worthy candidates and having been involved since the inception of the awards, this has been the hardest to adjudicate on so far. Thanks to all those who took the time to write-up the nominations of these special people who deserve recognition as in most cases, they themselves would not have done so as the work that they do is passion driven and for a greater good.’ - Chris Galliers, President of the International Ranger Federation and a judge of the 2020 Awards.
