Synergetic Green Warriors Foundation Commemorates World Rangers Day

Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 31: Synergetic Green Warriors Foundation (SGWF) marked World Rangers Day with a heartfelt ceremony, led by Dr. Sonia Verma, the Director of SGWF. In her speech, Dr. Verma paid homage to the forest rangers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in their commitment to protecting our forests and wildlife. She particularly remembered the 11 brave officers from the Uttarakhand Forest Department who lost their lives while combating forest fires. To honor their memory, a two-minute moment of silence was observed, recognizing these green unsung heroes, often referred to as the lesser-known khaki. On World Ranger Day, the international ranger community stops to recognise the critical role that the ranger profession plays in maintaining life on earth. If it were not for rangers unwavering commitment and passion for conservation, many species would already be extinct, and our ecosystems in a more degraded and perilous state than they currently are. We, as humans, are increasingly experiencing the ramifications of biodiversity loss and our negative impacts on healthy environmental systems. Rangers are, in many cases, putting their lives at risk so that society can enjoy fresh air, fresh water, and a healthy planet.
World Rangers Day, celebrated annually on July 31st, honors the dedication and courage of rangers worldwide, who are on the front lines of conservation. The day also serves as a tribute to rangers who have lost their lives or suffered injuries in the line of duty. It was established by the International Ranger Federation (IRF) to raise awareness about the vital role of rangers in protecting natural and cultural treasures. This day underscores the challenges faced by rangers, including risks from poaching, illegal logging, and wildlife trafficking, and the need for global support for their work.
K.D. Sharma, Patron of SGWF, shed light on the historical significance of World Rangers Day, emphasizing its role in recognizing the critical contributions of rangers across the globe. He noted that this day is not just a day of remembrance but also a call to action for increased support and recognition of these frontline conservationists.
Sandeep Sharma, another key member of SGWF, highlighted the importance of the day, stating that the foundation is dedicated to supporting green warriors in all aspects of their work. He emphasized the need for collaboration between communities, governments, and organizations to ensure the safety and well-being of rangers and the preservation of natural habitats.
"As we commemorate World Rangers Day, we stand with the world's rangers," said Dr. Verma. "Their courage and dedication are crucial to the conservation of our natural heritage. SGWF is committed to joining hands with these green warriors, advocating for better support systems, training, and resources to enhance their safety and effectiveness."
The event served as a poignant reminder of the bravery and dedication of those who protect our natural heritage, often under challenging and dangerous conditions. SGWF remains steadfast in its commitment to partnering with these green warriors, ensuring they receive the recognition and support they deserve.
