Eco Defense Group Granted Travel In Shutdown To Train Rangers In Special Ops Capabilities

During the pandemic-forced travel restrictions and lockdowns, Eco Defense Group was granted exclusive travel protections via a Diplomatic Note issued by the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria. This clearance made the organization the only NGO in its sector permitted to travel from the United States to Southern Africa at the height of the global travel shutdown, allowing ranger training in multiple countries without publishing sensitive site details.
