Where would our rhinos, elephants, tigers, gorillas, and other animals be without rangers?

Putting their lives on the line each and every day…it’s not glamorous or prestigious, it’s tough.

Sometimes it’s downright deadly.

But without these brave men and women, extinction would be a reality. Poaching would run rampant, chaos would ensue.

Through darkness, heat, rain, and cold, these souls persevere.

Treading carefully through danger, they protect what we all cherish.

So today, on World Ranger Day, we salute them.
