Kenya marked World Rangers Day with a series of events highlighting the critical role of rangers in wildlife conservation and community engagement. Organized by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and various conservancies, the celebrations underscored the dedication and sacrifices of rangers who protect the nation’s biodiversity.

The main event, held at Mpala Research Centre in Laikipia County, featured speeches, demonstrations, and recognition ceremonies. Rangers from across the country were honored for their bravery and commitment to conservation. The event also included a special tribute to those who lost their lives in the line of duty.

KWS Director, Brigadier (Rtd) John Waweru, emphasized the importance of rangers in achieving Kenya’s conservation goals. “Rangers are the backbone of our conservation efforts. Their work goes beyond protecting wildlife; they engage with communities, provide education, and manage natural resources sustainably,” he said.

Joyce Mbataru, Communications Manager at the Kenya Wildlife Conservancies Association (KWCA), highlighted the significant decline in poaching incidents due to the relentless efforts of rangers. “Our rangers are setting an example for other nations to emulate. The ’30 by 30′ conservation target, aiming to conserve 30% of the planet by 2030, is unattainable without a well-resourced and trained ranger workforce,” she noted.

The event has also showcased the collaborative efforts between rangers and local communities. Rangers at Mpala Research Centre, for instance, work closely with pastoralists on ecology courses, livestock diseases, and climate change. This collaboration not only enhances conservation efforts but also supports the livelihoods of local communities.

As Kenya celebrates its rangers, the call for increased support and resources was a recurring theme. The need for more training, better equipment, and enhanced community engagement was stressed as essential for the continued success of conservation efforts.

World Rangers Day serves as a reminder of the critical role rangers play in preserving Kenya’s natural heritage. As the country strives towards ambitious conservation goals, the support and recognition of rangers remain paramount.
