Future Rangers Programs GCC grew its Future Rangers Program from 4 schools, to 8 schools along the greater Kruger National Park's border. We expanded into high schools, reaching 8th grade students for the first time in our program, totaling a number of around 3,000 students impacted in 2020.

Field Rangers During 2020, GCC focused heavily on supporting the field rangers of the Timbvati Private Nature Reserve in South Africa. Because of the rapid spread of CV19, tourism in this region plummeted, leaving rangers vulnerable and without their usual employment benefits.

03

Rhino Man the Movie The most significant achievement during 2020 surrounding Rhino Man, was purchasing all outstanding stakeholder interest, and moving into owning the Film in its entirety.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
