Global Conservation Force (GCF) operates in multiple countries, navigating diverse languages, cultures, and conservation priorities across the globe. At the heart of our work are our four pillars of conservation, which operate in tandem with community-based conservation, regional anti-poaching strategies, and invitation-only requests for GCF to assist in-situ, boots-on-the-ground field operations. For those passionate about wildlife protection and conservation, becoming a GCF Instructor represents one of the most dynamic and challenging opportunities in the field. Our instructors work directly in the Africa bush and other remote locations, often under extreme conditions and without the luxuries of modern civilization. They operate in environments that require both mental and physical resilience, as well as the ability to wear multiple hats: leading teams, mentoring new field staff, and executing mission-critical tasks.

This combined course introduces participants to two essential field skills: snare patrols and tactical man tracking. In the snare patrol segment, attendees will focus on identifying and removing snares to protect wildlife. The tactical man tracking component teaches participants how to locate and follow a person or quarry by analyzing environmental clues like footprints. Whether for anti-poaching efforts or navigating dangerous game habitats, these skills are foundational for conservation work.
