World Ranger Day 2020

This World Ranger Day support the rangers on the frontline protecting one of Asia’s last great rainforests.

Southeast Asia is at the epicenter of the global extinction crisis and threats are on the rise. Without rangers, there would be no hope for turning the tide in the fight to protect some of the world’s most threatened and endangered species.

Wildlife Alliance’s 143 rangers work tirelessly on the front lines, risking their lives every day to:

• Locate and remove snares that indiscriminately maim or kill wildlife
• Find and apprehend poachers and loggers who are wiping out wildlife and their habitat
• Stop illegal land encroachment in the Cardamom Rainforest which has increased by 750% since 2010

OUR IMPACT FROM 2002 TO 2020 

260,048 Snares removed from the forest floor

6,670 Animals rescued from illegal wildlife trade

54,074 Number of logs seized from illegal loggers

Without these conservation heroes, the Cardamom Rainforest Landscape, one of the largest intact rainforests in Southeast Asia, would be just another ‘paper park’ like the majority of protected areas in the region. Our high-performing rangers directly protect over 55 IUCN Threatened species across over 2 million acres of rainforest. By making a donation this World Ranger Day, you can help secure the livelihood of these brave men and their families and ensure the Cardamom Rainforest remains a safe haven for elephants, pangolins, clouded leopards and many other iconic species.

Don’t let them fight alone. #JoinTheAlliance.
