"My name is Jean de Dieu — I have been working at Virunga National Park since 2013 and am currently a Platoon Leader." #ParkRangers #ProtectedArea #ConservationEfforts


Today on #WorldRangerDay we remember the vital work that Wildlife Rangers do around the world and pause to reflect on the courage and sacrifice they make; by honouring Fallen Rangers and standing with Rangers who continue to bravely undertake their role on the frontline.

Rangers working on the front line of conservation, do so under challenging and sometimes dangerous circumstances. Please watch this short video to the end. internationalrangers.org/wp-content/upl… #WorldRangerDay #worldrangerday2023 #WeStandWithRangers


On #WorldRangerDay2023 we honour all of the rangers and planetary health protectors who have lost their lives in the past 12 months in the course of their duties. RIP. #WorldRangerDay #WeStandWithRangers

We are extremely sorry to learn the devastating news of the deaths of six brave rangers and a civilian colleague in Virunga in two separate attacks. Our love and sincere condolences to their families, friends, and colleagues at this awful time. #RIP

It is with extreme sadness that Virunga National Park confirms the deaths of 3 Park Rangers following two separate violent attacks by armed members of Mai Mai militias. Read more: bit.ly/Statement-VNP

Despite the difficult terrain, harsh conditions, and periods of conflict, #Rangers risk their lives daily for the benefit of the Park, its #wildlife, and the people that depend on it for their livelihood. In 2022, they have trekked over 25,800 km in the protection of #Virunga.⁠

Lions are returning to the Park thanks to increasingly favourable conditions fostered through conservation efforts.  It is crucial that protected areas are set aside for lions and other animals to protect them from extinction. #WorldLionDay

On World Ranger Day we celebrate the work of rangers across the globe. In some places rangers face huge challenges and this year's Roll of Honour commemorates the 150 rangers who have lost their lives in the line of duty over the past 12 months. We remember their sacrifice today.

Today is #WorldNatureConservationDay, a time to appreciate the wonders and resources that the natural world affords us, whether it be clean air, oxygen-producing plants, carbon-sequestering soils, or the vast web of creatures that comprise ecosystems.


As we approach #WorldRangerDay on Sunday we'd like to thank the amazing rangers of Virunga National Park @gorillacd and around the world for the wonderful work they do and the sacrifices they make.

Yesterday, Drs. Fabrice and Lina conducted a health check of Katsabara group in the Mt. Tshiabirimu sector of Virunga National Park, DRC. The four Grauer's gorillas were in overall good health. Pictured is Espoir, the only infant in the group.
