Last year, 1028 rhinos were poached in South Africa, this figure could have doubled if it weren’t for the fearless, dedicated rangers who risk their lives daily to protect wildlife.
World Ranger Day, celebrated annually, pays tribute to rangers killed or injured in the line of duty. In 2018, the focus is on marine rangers.
The International Ranger Federation (IRF) called for a pause to reflect on the courage and sacrifice that rangers make.
“By honouring Fallen Rangers and standing with Rangers who bravely undertake their role on the frontline. World Ranger Day is an International Ranger Federation initiative promoted together with its official charity arm, The Thin Green Foundation,” the IRF said.
Let’s stand with our brave rangers, and say thank you…
