Park rangers, with their ‘Boots on the ground’
play a crucial role in protecting threatened species and ecosystems from poaching and illegal logging.
InvestConservation is focused on maximising funding for on-the-ground conservation efforts. In the 5-minute video below you can
get a glimpse into the daily work of the Fundación Jocotoco
rangers in Ecuador.
Hear from Patricio Reyes, Alcides Zambrano, Byron Delgado, Fernando Males and Rene Zambrano on how they became park rangers and their daily experiences of patrols, bird monitoring, checking nest boxes and plant maintenance.
By recording and identifying species, they contribute to science.
Another important role is community engagement and education about the value of life and conserving nature, forging a path for future generations to prevent forests from getting further destroyed by chainsaws. Teachings across generations bring change.
Just like Park Ranger David La Torre chose to dedicate his life to conservation, inspired by his father, who from a young age taught him the importance of protecting the nature around them.
InvestConservation partners with Fundación Jocotoco.
