When is World Ranger Day?
Monday July 31stWorld Ranger Day, July 31st, honors the sacrifice and the vital work rangers do every day around the world. The day provides a chance to showcase your appreciation to rangers for the services they provide. Our unwavering dedication to our national parks, wildlife, and forested history is evident every day.
Park rangers play a variety of roles. All park rangers are integral to national park systems, and they are on the front line of preservation and conservation. Rangers are employed by the National Park Service (NPS) in the United States to provide both law enforcement and cultural and educational programs. Park rangers' jobs around the world can vary depending on the climate in which they live.
While the day honors the contributions of rangers, it also highlights their sacrifices. At least 1,000 park rangers have been killed in the line of duty over the past ten years, 75% by commercial poachers and militant militia groups, according to professional organizations. According to reports, the day honors rangers who have been killed or injured in the line of duty.
