European legislative bodies, specifically the Parliament and the Council, have collaborated on this matter.
Join the World Ranger Day celebration at the Wanderparkplatz Schwarzes Moor in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Rhön on August 1st, from 12 to 16 o'clock. This family-friendly event offers a broad program, highlighting the crucial role of rangers in nature protection and education within the cross-border biosphere reserve.
Visitors of all ages can partake in thematic guided tours, led by local rangers, showcasing the unique nature and conservation work in the area. Information stands provide knowledge about the biosphere reserve and ranger activities. For the younger Rhönerinnen and Rhöner, there are dedicated activities, including building nesting aids for native bird species and interactive sessions about the habitat of local bird species.
The rangers in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Rhön take care of various tasks such as nature conservation, education, landscape care, monitoring, visitor guidance, and digital ranger duties. Topics covered by the rangers include insect diversity and the protection of core zones.
The event offers an opportunity for participants to experience the ranger profession up close. It's important to note that over 100 rangers worldwide lose their lives annually, often due to violence, poaching, or inadequate equipment. This World Ranger Day draws attention to the sometimes dangerous working conditions of rangers.
Currently, 13 rangers are in action in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Rhön - seven in Hesse and six in Bavaria. Exciting guided tours on various themes are offered at 2 o'clock. No registration is required for the guided tours.
So, come and join us at the Wanderparkplatz Schwarzes Moor for an engaging and educational day, celebrating the important role of rangers in protected areas worldwide. Let's honour and support these dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to protect our natural heritage.
Participating in the World Ranger Day celebration at Wanderparkplatz Schwarzes Moor, visitors can learn about the integration of environmental-science principles in home-and-garden activities through interactive sessions with local rangers. After exploring the biosphere reserve, one may appreciate the lifestyle modifications necessary for environmentally-friendly living.
