Becoming an Anti-Poaching, Wildlife Conservation, Wildlife Protection Instructor with Global Conservation Force

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.
