Bhutan is known for its pristine environment and rich wildlife. Foresters play a huge role in ensuring the sustainability of the rich natural heritage. Observing World Ranger Day today, frontline conservation heroes were recognised for their courage, duty, and commitment to protecting Bhutan’s rich biodiversity.

140 forest rangers from 37 countries were reported to have died in the line of duty last year. World Ranger Day pays tribute to those who have served and are still serving to protect the natural world.

During the celebrations, ranger teams were awarded certificates for their exceptional service towards transformative conservation, including the protection of wildlife and wildlife habitats.

At the event, the World Wildlife Fund Bhutan handed over 50 smartphones to the Department of Forest and Park Services to enhance conservation through smart patrolling.

For the rangers, the celebration of the day empowers them to put an extra effort into protecting Bhutan’s rich biodiversity despite challenges.

“In Bhutan, the country’s wealth is the forest or the rich biodiversity. It’s the duty of the Department of Forest and Park Services, and we, the rangers. So, from the Director of the Department to the rangers stationed in remote parts of the country, we are trying our best,” said Chorten, Sr. Forest Officer, Thimphu Division, DoFPS.

“The day celebrates the tireless efforts of rangers. Regardless of day and night, we go patrolling. In the Southern region, we have to even go on border patrol. We do our duties whether it rains or shines,” said Sangay Gyelmo, Ranger, Thimphu Division, DoFPS.

Bhutan began observing World Ranger Day in 2017. Currently, the country has 1,225 rangers.
