Protected area personnel and ranger numbers are insufficient to deliver global expectations
The 2020 global spatial targets for protected areas set by the Convention on Biological Diversity have almost been achieved, but management effectiveness remains deficient. Personnel shortages are widely cited as major contributing factors but have not previously been quantified. Using data from 176 countries and territories, we estimate a current maximum of 555,000 terrestrial protected area personnel worldwide (one per 37 km 2 ), including 286,…
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on rangers and the role of rangers as a planetary health service
Rangers play an indispensable role in maintaining balance between people and the natural world by protecting and managing protected and conserved areas. Despite occupying this key role, rangers are facing many challenges across organisational, occupational and personal fronts that hinder the delivery of their duties. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these challenges and made the fight against the illegal killing of wildlife, illegal logging,…
Engaging End-Users to Maximise Uptake and Effectiveness of a New Species Recovery Assessment
When developing a novel conservation assessment, tradeoffs between generality and precision, and between realism and simplicity, will inevitably need to be made. Engaging potential end-users during development can help developers navigate these tradeoffs to maximise uptake. End-user engagement can also produce feedback about external perceptions, allowing changes to be made prior to the final design. Here, we report on end-user consultations abou…
Using crime script analysis to understand wildlife poaching in Vietnam
Poaching can contribute to the failure of biodiversity conservation efforts and inflict diverse harms on human livelihoods. We applied crime script analysis to the case of snare poaching—an illegal hunting activity—in three Vietnamese protected areas. Our goal was to enhance the understanding about the opportunity structure underlying snare poaching to advance the suite of community-based crime prevention activities. We analyzed crime scripts for…
Balancing conservation and development in Nepal’s protected area buffer zones
Rangers are charged with preventing biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. They work under a diversity of environmental conditions spanning the climates, ecosystems and landscapes of our planet. Rangers also work under a range of man-made working conditions -salary, training, healthcare, job stress, etc -that are unique to each context and either promote or inhibit the welfare of these men and women. A ranger's work can be dangerous; diseas…
