WORLD RANGER DAY: 31 JULY

Rangers face challenging and dangerous situations almost every day, yet many lack the most basic means to do their job. WWF supports the work of rangers around the world, including that of Musa Moloi.

Musa Moloi is a Wildlife Ranger in Kenya's Loita forest. Along with his colleagues, his work takes him to all corners of the community, liaising with farmers over wildlife conflict issues, investigating any poaching incidents and helping the villagers live sustainably alongside the wildlife whose land they share.

THE WISDOM OF ELDERS

Musa’s father still lives in the village where he grew up. He’s proud of what his son has achieved, and has taught him much about the local wildlife.

“The area where my father was a young man was once the best place for rhinos,” Musa explains.

“It's sad for him that we've lost so many animals, especially the rhinos.”

For rangers such as Musa, having family ties within the community they serve helps foster trust and respect. And village elders, such as Musa’s father, remain an invaluable source of wisdom.
