Rally for Rangers

Rally for Rangers Our mission - to empower rangers with new motorcycles & gear to preserve protected places worldwide. Rally for Rangers isn't just a ride, it’s a movement.

Park Rangers around the world, most of them with a bare minimum of support and equipment, are working tirelessly to protect globally significant landscapes and resources. They cover hundreds and thousands of square kilometers of terrain on foot, horseback, camel, elephant, reindeer (yes reindeer), and, when possible, motorcycle. Unfortunately, most of the motorcycles in use protecting park lands a

re outdated, unreliable, and improper for the tasks at hand. This is how and why Rally for Rangers began. In 2013, former U.S. National Park Ranger Robert McIntosh was working with the Mongol Ecology Center as a volunteer assisting managers at Lake Hovsgol National Park in Mongolia. "Mac" as he is known to his friends and colleagues, was meeting with the chief ranger at Lake Hovsgol about park planning when a call came in regarding illegal camping on park lands nearby. Mac watched helplessly as the chief ranger hopped on his motorcycle only to have it break down. This happened routinely, that the rangers could not pursue or keep up with illegal poachers, miners, campers and other spoilers of the park. Mac had seen enough. He told his Mongolian colleague that he would take it upon himself to buy a new motorcycle, ride it across Mongolia and deliver it to his friend and colleague so he could adequately perform his job. Upon returning to the States Mac related this story, asked "who's in?" and to date 35 new Yamaha motorcycles have been delivered by 35 intrepid riders and planet loving souls.

Up and over the high Andes and a 15,500’ (4,725m) pass, and down into the Amazon in just a few hours. An incredible day of extremes, with switchbacks galore. Join A Rally - Link in Bio

Vicuñas ✔️

Pampas Galeras Nature Reserve is home to Vicuñas, relatives to the wider known llamas and alpacas. The reserve was first established to protect the endangered Vicuña, whose numbers dropped to around only 6,000 due to unrestricted hunting in the 1960s. Through the collective action of guards, biologist, park rangers and the local Andean traditions, over 200,000 Vicuñas now roam the high Andes.

It is not everyday you see a group of ten identical motorcycles driving through town with geared out riders. The Rally for Rangers crew definitely does not blend in but the crew will surely be a sight to remember.

What’s even a better view is the park rangers with their new bikes! We’re almost halfway through the Peru 2026 rally which means we’re getting closer and closer to deliver the bikes to our rangers. A few more days to go!
