In the last year, 107 rangers lost their lives in the line of duty. To mark #WorldRangerDay, we’ve released the first results from the largest ever survey on ranger employment conditions and welfare.

Our results found that one in seven wildlife rangers (14%) have been seriously injured over the past year in the line of duty

The survey was completed by rangers working in Asia and Central Africa, the most dangerous regions due to the levels of poaching and demand for illegal wildlife trade of animal products.

The full results of our survey will be released later this year.

At our Global Tiger Day launch on July 29, 2018, the Minister of Water, Land and Natural Resources. YB Dr Xavier Jayakumar said he was seriously considering proposing stricter anti-poaching measures for Cabinet deliberation: bit.ly/2LKWQ3g.
