Conservation

The Twinning Project supports conservation in both Queen Elizabeth Parks by working to assist Rangers to develop their skills, encouraging all staff to engage with their local community and by ensuring that the Twinning Project is seen very much as a wildlife conservation and environmental project.

 

The Project sees exchange as an important tool in the development of ideas and key skills. It also believes that by providing training and mentoring opportunities both Parks and their local communities will benefit.

 

Rangers involvement with the local schools is also seen as vital to the future of conservation.

It is keen for Rangers to be seen as environmental icons and for young people to feel part of the environmental protection process.

The Thin Green Line


  

Rangers are the Thin Green Line that stand between an ever expanding population and the wildlife that inevitably suffers as a result of that expansion. Rangers often have to put themselves at great risk and unfortunately that sometime results in death.

Over the last ten years 100 of Rangers have been killed protecting the wildlife and special environments around

the world. Click on the IRF logo to find out more about The International Ranger Federation
