We help the green heroes, the rangers of protected areas in Bolivia – for example with an accident and whole life insurance.
The Madidi National Park in the Bolivian Amazon is the most biodiverse conservation area worldwide.
It is protected by 27 rangers; they are in the crossfire of illegal wildlife trade, exploitation (especially gold and wood) and slash-and-burn for meet and cocaine production.
It is a dangerous, hard job in the middle of nowhere, too often outnumbered.
The Madidi, its’ preservation and thus its’ rangers have become a strong part in our mission since first visiting this natural wonder.
A big donation made possible due to the Animalma anniversary was waiting to be spent meaningfully and sustainably in the beginning of 2023. The rangers lack all kinds of equipment to do their work well prepared and safely. Unfortunately, it does happen that donations in kind disappear without a trace.
This is why we decided to invest in an accident and whole life insurance for the 27 rangers of Madidi National Park. For many of them, it is the very first time to fall back on an insurance, if something happens to them while doing their vital work.
The insurance covers
- Accidental death USD 10’000.-
- Permanent partial or full invalidity USD 10’000.-
- Reimbursement for medications USD 1’000.-
and has cost USD 51.72 per person.
The coverage started on 15th of March 2023 for one year.
We thank all guests from the Animalma anniversary as well as other anonymous donors, who gave us financial aid without a special purpose. You made this help possible.
It is thanks to you, that the rangers and their families can feel saver this year!
