World Ranger Day 2014: Message from the CITES Secretary-General, John E. Scanlon
31st July 2014 to 1st August 2015
World Ranger Day was first observed in 2007, on the 15th anniversary of the founding of the International Ranger Federation (IRF). It honours park rangers across the world who have been injured or lost their lives in the line of duty, and also celebrates the role rangers play in protecting our natural resources, including wild animals and plants.
