World Ranger Day

Every year on 31 July, World Ranger Day creates an opportunity to celebrate the incredible things that Rangers do for nature every day, and to remember and honour Rangers whose lives have sadly been lost on duty.

Thankfully, this year, Qld has not lost any Rangers in the line of duty, however 140 Rangers in 37 countries are reported to have lost their lives while working to protect nature and over 1,300 rangers have died on duty in the last 10 years alone.

Today and every day, we celebrate the passion, skill and dedication of our Rangers and the many

roles they perform for Qld’s protected areas. Find out about local National Parks on qpws. usedirect.com/QPWS and book your next camping holiday and say, ‘Hello to a Ranger’.
