Join expert K9 trainers and anti-poaching rangers for this intensive course, designed for handlers, trainers, and rangers working with active K9 units. Participants will engage in real-world scenarios, enhancing operational effectiveness in anti-poaching, counter-trafficking, and wildlife protection roles. Like all GCF programs, this course provides exposure to diverse habitats and local tourist experiences within GCF’s conservation zones.
The GCF Introduction to Anti-Poaching Training Course is designed to forge highly skilled, disciplined, and mission-ready wildlife protection professionals. Over an intensive 21-day program, trainees will undergo a physically and mentally demanding experience, structured to meet the real-world challenges faced by anti-poaching rangers. This course is not for the faint of heart—participants should prepare as they would for a military or law enforcement boot camp, with the expectation of rigorous training in both practical and tactical conservation techniques.

June 21st marks World Giraffe Day, a day to honor the world’s tallest land animal and reflect on the state of giraffe conservation. For years, giraffe have been experiencing a silent extinction—declining across many parts of Africa due to habitat loss, poaching, human-wildlife conflict, and civil unrest. But this year, thanks to the continued efforts of conservationists, rangers, researchers, and local communities, we have some hopeful news to share.

Rhinos
When it comes to rhino conservation, there are no easy answers—no “silver bullet” that can single-handedly end the poaching crisis. Each strategy deployed is part of a broader, multi-layered defense aimed at protecting one of our planet’s most iconic and imperiled species. One of the most controversial, but effective tools in the conservation toolbox is rhino horn trimming, aka de-horning.
