2025 International Ranger Awards

Organizers: IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) and in collaboration with Wildlife Trust of India.

Key Highlights:

  • Thirteen countries have become the rangers of envy because of the great service and sacrifice in the conservation of the ecosystem.
  • The threats they have to deal with on a daily basis include poaching, illegal logging, armed traffickers, wildfires, and rough terrain.
  • This was followed by a report, Guardians of the Wild, which spelled out these difficulties and the important role of the rangers.

Main Takeaways:

  • One thing the world has increasingly realized is that conservation success is pegged on how well the rangers are conserved.
  • Rangers also usually operate with insufficiency in safety, training and funding.
  • The event highlighted that ranger safety, welfare, and training should be incorporated as a fundamental part of any conservation effort and also the importance of indigenous knowledge.
