Today is an opportunity to give rangers the appreciation and respect they deserve. When laws are weak, technology is expensive, and the price on an animal’s head is high, the only thing literally standing between a poacher and rhino, is the ranger.
We salute you all! Thank you for your dedication, bravery and efforts. You truly are our heroes.
Let’s celebrate those men and women keeping us updated on bear behaviors and safety, and other dangerous and heroic acts of conservation! Visit Katmai and Grasslands National Park where bears, bison, prairie dogs and more roam our natural landscape protected by rangers.
The 31st of July each year is the one day, more than most, that we ask the world community to pause, reflect and honour those park rangers who have lost their lives in the line of duty, and to importantly celebrate and acknowledge the brave, tireless, and critical role of the planets park rangers in protecting our world’s natural systems and endangered species.
