Zero shots fired!

Since their very first day in the field, the Akashinga rangers haven't fired one harmful shot* although they are armed on duty.

Seven years and countless patrols later we are proud
to say no suspects have been harmed in the mission to
protect wildlife and nature. Yet more than 1590 arrests
have been made to date for wildlife related crimes. This
is a huge success! 🙌

Women have an ability to deescalate and solve
conflicts in a more peaceful way. This is one of the
aspects that results in a more safe environment, for the
rangers and the suspects they are chasing.

*Warning shots have been fired, but no human or
animal have been harmed.
