Some of the money will also contribute towards the necessary equipment for the anti-poaching team to function effectively.
The paddlers want to also kickstart a volunteer programme which will incorporate teaching and long-term sustainability initiatives.
The event was supported by Varsity College staff and students by donating towards this initiative.
KZN regional sports coordinator The IIE’s Varsity College, Jody Taylor said it was good to see the team giving their free time for a good cause while raising funds and creating awareness for the conservation guardians.
“Our students showed that coming together during times like this can go a long way to support those in need,” he said.
