Radio equipment repair in the field. Although thes Radio equipment repair in the field. Although these Motorola radios hold up well in such a harsh and constant operational environment we see common issues such as broken switches, damaged battery terminals, worn out keypads and excessive wear to cases. All can be fixed using genuine Motorola parts by our in house technicians. Who else has a box of broken radios that need some TLC?

Fresh paint job! With the support of our partners Fresh paint job! With the support of our partners, FPF have purchased six Mercedes-Benz UNIMOG vehicles to support the ICCN security operations of Upemba and Kundelungu National parks complex. These vehicles are essential for driving off road and on the near nonexistent roads in DRC. More vehicles to follow as we rehabilitate the national park complex including a UNIMOG clinic to deliver healthcare to the surrounding communities. #unimog #mercedesbenzunimog

Our Ranger cap badge. The badge is earned, not gi Our Ranger cap badge. The badge is earned, not given. In December 2019 the first course of ICCN rangers graduated from a 3 month training and selection course, earning their cap badge. The badge depicts the return of black rhino to the park and serves as a constant reminder of the commitment between @forgottenparksfoundation and the ICCN to reintroduce black rhino to Upemba. The black rhino has been regionally extinct from the Congo since the poaching of the last black rhino in Upemba in 1957. The badges are manufactured in Malvern, UK by @selcraftuk
