World Ranger Day

July 31, 2023

We asked rangers around the world why they decided to do this work. A ranger’s exact role may vary from place to place, but all of them expressed an inspiring dedication to saving wildlife and wild places, from the forests of Madagascar to the plains of Mongolia. For World Ranger Day, help us say thanks.
