On July 31st, we mark International Rangers’ Day – a day dedicated to those who, alongside ecologists, biologists, and other specialists, actively contribute to protecting nature and biodiversity.

Established in 1992 by the International Ranger Federation, the day is a well-deserved recognition of the efforts of those who work quietly but are deeply involved in the field. From monitoring wildlife to helping local communities co-exist with animals, rangers play a vital role in maintaining the balance between man and nature. With professionalism, courage, and dedication, they serve as the essential link between conservation, science, and the community.

Rewilding Romania’s initiatives aim to create more space for nature to regenerate, revitalise rural communities, and create new opportunities for people living close to nature. Over 200 fully free-roaming bison live in the Țarcu Mountains. The young generations growing up here are forming their identities in a place where the bison is once again part of the landscape. It is important that they understand why this species was reintroduced and what benefits it brings to both nature and people. The educational programmes developed by Rewilding Romania help them understand the bison as well as other key species and their roles.
