My name is Damien Mander. I'm the Founder and the CEO of the International Anti-Poaching Foundation,

1
00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:08.850
and today, I'm coming to you from Zimbabwe. As a former service member and Iraq war veteran,

2
00:00:08.850 --> 00:00:12.320
I moved here in 2009 and set this organization up.

3
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.200
As a CFC giver, you're also a force for change.

4
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:20.913
There's never been a more critical issue in the history of human civilization than the immediate protection of the natural world.

5
00:00:20.927 --> 00:00:22.600
Through this workplace gift program,

6
00:00:22.700 --> 00:00:28.450
you have an opportunity to help us expand our programs putting more rangers on the ground, protecting more ecosystems

7
00:00:28.498 --> 00:00:29.950
and the animals that live within them.

8
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.299
As part of our programs that are gender diverse,

9
00:00:32.299 --> 00:00:37.246
we uplift communities that surround the areas we protect. Helping to rebuild these areas,

10
00:00:37.246 --> 00:00:40.844
helping to uplift these communities and the natural heritage of this continent.

'Akashinga' here in Zimbabwe - shifting the way that we look at conservation.
'Akashinga' the brave ones.
14
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.000
Thank you very much for your support.

15
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.100
And as we're on the ground over here fighting poaching.
