From bush to ocean, World Ranger Day salutes the defenders of the wild
On the 31st of July each year, we celebrate World Ranger Day, honouring the brave people who have dedicated, and continue to dedicate, their lives to protecting and conserving our natural heritage. Rangers work tirelessly in some of the most remote and challenging environments, safeguarding endangered species, preserving delicate ecosystems, and combating illegal activities that threaten our planet’s biodiversity.
In South Africa rangers stand up to poachers daily as they battle to end the destruction of wildlife species, ranging from the poaching of rhino and abalone to the illegal removal of plants such as cycads and Proteas.
