{"pk":25167,"title":"Challenges that rangers must face: Four rangers from Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Colombia tell their stories of diverse realities across Latin America","subtitle":null,"abstract":"A set of articles in a previous issue of \nParks Stewardship Forum\n (volume 37, number 1, 2021) focused on how to implement the 2019 Chitwan Declaration of the 9th World Ranger Congress covering issues such as rangers’ role in conservation, relationships with communities, and challenges to professionalize the career. Here I build on those articles by collaborating with four Latin American rangers so that they can tell their stories of how they became rangers and what they face. The four represent different park systems, habitat types, educational levels, gender issues, community relationships, and major duties, among other aspects. Their stories lend a human face to the earlier general discussions.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial  4.0","short_name":"CC BY-NC 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
