"To be a ranger is to walk the line between wild and human, protecting natureโs heartbeat while risking your ownโ-Bassey Effiong.
Cheers to courage, sacrifice, and the Giant strides of Rangers all over the world
@Wildlife Ranger Challenge 2024.
Our Ecosystem is priceless, its value cannot be measured. Our work @WCS_Nigeria with donors @EUinNigeria ensures that our wildlife supports the healthy, resilient ecosystems that we rely on.
Exciting visit from the EU last week to review progress on our existing grant to protect forests & #wildlife, supporting sustainable livelihoods around Cross River National Park. Feedback was incredibly positive, together with project partners we are planning the next grant!
We celebrate Nigeriaโs #Rangers on this #WorldRangerDay. Here is a heartening video from @WCS_Nigeria, shoutout to Bassey Effiong the producer.
We continue to be inspired by the rangers who work in the most perilous conditions to protect our natural heritage. ๐ซถ๐ฝ๐ช๐ฝ
A ranger is a guardian, a hero, a father, a mother, a keeper, a protector and our line of defense, keeping our wildlife safe.
World Rangers Day

Ranger patrols help protect forests, wildlife and watersheds. Their presence helps improve security for surrounding communities. This #wed2022 let us thank our rangers for everything that they do for our planet

From food security to livelihoods to biodiversity, our very survival depends on bees ๐๐๐
In Nigeria @thewcs is working with bee farmers in Cross River State & Yankari Game Reserve to help protect gorillas and elephants!

The UN General Assembly proclaimed 21 March the International Day of Forests.
Forests are key to combating climate change, and for the wellbeing of current and future generations. Despite this, deforestation in Nigeria continues at an alarming rate.
