On Wednesday 31st July, 2019, millions of people worldwide joined in celebrating rangers. Many organised special events, some organised photo sessions while others only gave the rangers a shout-out on the social media.
In Omo wildlife reserve, Ogun State, Nigeria the World Rangers day was celebrated with a modest event spiced by news of the birth of twins by the wife of one of their colleagues.
As part of the event, the rangers had quizzes and talked about their work as rangers. The event was capped with eating, drinking and dancing at the Erin Camp, deep in the heart of the forest.
Below are photos from the event.
