(***TIMESTAMPS in Description Below) ~ Ryan Tate is a veteran, conservationist, undercover operator, and on-the-ground commander in Africa. After serving in both Afghanistan and Iraq, Ryan moved to Africa to lead the battle against int’l criminal syndicates and foreign governments financing lllegal poaching. With the Elephants and Rhinos severely endangered upon his arrival in 2014, Ryan founded VETPAW, an organization that brings veterans to the front lines of the war against poachers.

Over their 8 years working with local governments to protect reserves across Africa, VETPAW has lost ZERO animals to poaching –– and has been a driving force behind the regrowth of the Elephant and Rhino populations. They are effectively the greatest conservationists on planet earth.
