In 2020, Francis Galgitele - Head Ranger of Nasuulu Conservancy, Northern Kenya - was the recipient of the Appelbe Award, a $500 cash prize. The award, gifted by one of STE’s founding trustees Felix Appelbe, annually recognises an individual who has shown outstanding passion, commitment and accomplishment working for Samburu’s wildlife.
In 2012, Francis managed the Nasuulu ranger force, a unit made up of four different tribes. He has become an expert negotiator and peacemaker, bridging the gap between tribes. Francis’s life has been threatened by poachers and bandits, but his dedication to the job and those who serve beneath him never wavers.
Felix Appelbe is pleased that the aim of his annual prize is helping bring together many people in the common cause enabling STE's work to flourish and as an example to the conservation world.
