Partnerships

The Conservation Travel Foundation (CTF) serves as the implementing support organization for the Lion Rangers Program. By assisting with administrative overhead it helps keep the Lion Rangers and our Leadership Team focused on staying lean and ensuring 100% of donations and grants go to conservation of Namibia’s lions.

We are proud to partner with Namibia’s Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism.

Our research is supported by the University of Minnesota Lion Center.

Research on lion in northwest Namibia is supported in part by the Beasley Lab in the Warnell School of Forestry at the University of Georgia.

The Namibian Lion Trust is a valued partner, helping lead field deployment and human-lion conflict effort across the landscape.

Lion Rangers field work and research is supported by the Community Conservation Fund of Namibia

We partner with Journeys Namibia, who is supporting Ranger field work in the Ombonde and Klip River landscapes.
