Page 4 - ICORP Volunteers Manual

“By joining ICORP as a volunteer you will be taking a huge and positive step
towards curbing the threat of species extinction. We are a charity dedicated to
the conservation and protection of wildlife. It would mean a lot to me and my
support group to see you join our tribe and see that you have heard our call.
We cannot lead the fight against poaching without a strong and supportive
base.

We have men and women on the front lines who have left their families and
risk their lives every day while protecting the iconic animals of Africa. By
joining us as a guardian for the future, you will make a direct impact on saving
rhinos, elephants and all wildlife of Southern Africa.”

Thank you!
