International Ranger Federation - IRF - Nepal World Ranger Congress 2019 PIN

Description: This is for a 1" PIN reading, 9th WORLD RANGER CONGRESS - NEPAL 2019 Official logo patch of the International Ranger Federation World Ranger Congress in Nepal. The International Ranger Federation (IRF) World Ranger Congress brings together Rangers from all over the world, giving them the opportunity to learn new skills, share knowledge and create partnerships. It occurs every three years in a different location, allowing host countries from each IRF region to raise the profile of Rangers locally and internationally. It allows them to showcase their successes, to identify how they’re addressing their regional challenges and share their knowledge and skills with colleagues from around the world. Attending a congress like this is a once in a life time opportunity for many Rangers; meeting colleagues from around the world gives Rangers hope and boosts their morale. Often their jobs are located in remote and isolated areas where they don’t have a lot of contact with the world family of Rangers. They don’t often have the opportunity to exchange stories and learn from others that may be located half way across the world. The World Ranger Congress is also a forum for the creation of recommendations on issues that affect Rangers and the work that they do on the front-line. Having these challenges come directly from Rangers makes the message more powerful; the recommendations are presented at conservation forums globally. The 10th World Ranger Congress will be held in the Azores in 2023.The International Ranger Federation (IRF) was founded in 1992 with a signed agreement between the Countryside Management Association (CMA), representing rangers in England and Wales, the Scottish Countryside Rangers Association (SCRA), and the U.S. Association of National Park Rangers (ANPR). The goals of the agreement were to provide a forum for rangers, from around the world, to share their successes and failures in protecting the world?s heritage and to promote information and technology transfer from countries in which protected area management enjoys broad public and government support, to countries in which protected area management is less supported. 60 associations from national, state and territorial entities have affiliated with the IRF, and rangers from other countries have applied for provisional membership in IRF while they attempt to establish ranger associations in their countries. Park rangers, their ranger associations, and the IRF ensure the world?s terrestrial and marine parks, and the flora and fauna that live in them, are protected from vandalism, poaching, theft, exploitation or destruction. As guardians of our natural and cultural resources, rangers are first on the scene of illegal or unsustainable exploitation of these resources, often at great personal risk. Regional conflict, civil war and political unrest also greatly impact protected areas and the rangers that manage them. Our rangers require special support structures, training and equipment to carryout their jobs. IRF provides training, capacity building and exchange programs to its members in order to ensure park rangers are well trained and properly equipped to manage the world?s most precious wildernesses. The IRF also advocates for good governance and the enactment of enforceable laws that protect rangers from assaults while performing their duties. The IRF is the voice of park rangers, in the international community, in calling for greater support for rangers in carrying out their vital role in the protection of our parks.
