Akashingas

A lion will fight for life and the pack he belongs to and will go to death in a loyal combat, but Cecil did not have that chance, today his spirit can be find among the Akashingas ("the brave") women rangers in Zimbabwe, who dedicate their lives to defending nature reserves against poaching activities - https://www.akashinga.org/.

These women, who often come from difficult backgrounds, have become an example for local communities. Their determination and many successes have made them local heroes. Cecil DAO will use 50% of the SNS donation to this organization, the 50% remaining will go as an endowment to CECIL AI, with 10% of the annual profits going to the Akashinga.org, the anti-poaching association, to enable them to continue their actions in defense of Zimbabwe's wildlife reserves.
