A park ranger is the person involved in the protection and preservation of natural, historical or cultural areas, according to the International Federation of Park Rangers. Therefore, a park ranger protects natural resources, and teaches us the importance of the area we visit.
Some of their activities are:
- Monitor and protect natural areas.
- Welcome and attend visitors at the nature reserves.
- Carry out biological monitoring of the area.
- Provide first aid.
- Prevent and control wildfires.
- Be a link between visitors and institutions.
- Submit environmental complaints.
Park rangers are the key piece in the protection of more than 130,000 acres of natural areas in Baja California. Without them, ensuring the well-being of the nature reserves we protect would be a very difficult task.
Some of the staff members have lived the experience of working as park rangers for a week. Read the story here.
