World Ranger Day commemorates rangers killed or injured in the line of duty, and celebrates the work rangers do to protect the world's natural and cultural treasures.

Park rangers, their ranger associations, and the IRF ensure the world's terrestrial and marine parks, and the flora and fauna that live in them, are protected from vandalism, poaching, theft, exploitation or destruction.

What a worthy cause to be involved in.  Being a ranger is dangerous work in some parts of the world.

Thank you for sharing ladies. I had no idea that this day was to commemorate those who do their best to protect wildlife and the environment. While our American rangers do face danger from the weather, animals, terrain and increasingly from criminals there are rangers who face constant threats from poachers.
