OUR PARKS HAVE A STORY TO TELL, AND ONLY OUR RANGERS CAN TELL IT. This World Ranger Day, we proudly invite you to join us for a Virtual Online Event to recount, reflect and remember the brave men and women who have dedicated themselves to conserving our natural heritage.
We’re engaging with the real rangers of SANParks, in a conversation bearing testimony to the cost and care that goes into protecting our natural heritage. We will hear their tales, and share their experiences being Rangers in today’s world at the frontline of conservation.
It’s a day of recognition and remembrance. A moment for those who serve. An insight into their world.
Our panellists will include:
- Cathy Dreyer – Head Ranger of the Kruger National Park.
- Philip Prins – Fire Manager, Table Mountain National Park.
- Owen Govender – Snr Section Ranger at Garden Route National Park (Knysna Lakes Section).
