Rangers devote their lives to protecting wild spaces and species. Without their brave commitment, many species like tigers, elephants and rhinos would not stand a chance at the hands of poachers.
Take a look at the life of a ranger by the numbers and see why these courageous men and women need and deserve our support.
10 - The number of members in WWF's Tiger Protection Unit, charged with helping protect the last wild tigers on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
19 - The number of park rangers and Nepal Army members WWF helped train in unmanned aerial vehicles, which will help monitor wildlife and combat poaching.
25 - The number of dollars necessary to provide rangers with fuel for two weeks; such funding allows them to visit local communities and patrol in vehicles.
100 - The number of dollars rangers earn per month at Kui Buri, a national park in South East Asia near the Thai-Myanmar border. Rangers receive few benefits and low salaries.
1,000 - The number of rangers killed in the line of duty in the last 10 years, according to the Thin Green Line Foundation. That's close to two rangers a week, every week, for the last decade.
3,000 - The number of park rangers from more than 20 countries who trained with support from WWF's Russell E. Train Education for Nature Program.
10,000,000 - The number of dollars President Obama committed in July 2013 to help stem illegal wildlife trade trafficking in Africa along with a mandate to develop a national strategy to fight wildlife crime.
