Abstract

Our planet is facing increasing challenges: climate change, biodiversity loss, pandemics, poverty, and many other problems closely linked to a deteriorating environment. Meanwhile, one of our most important assets, rangers working in protected and conserved areas responsible for managing large tracts of the planet's lands and waters, are often underutilized, underrecognized and underequipped. They are generally left out of the debate about conservation and sustainable development policy, despite being central to the success of those policies. This paper outlines the need for global leaders across multiple sectors to recognize the profession of rangers as essential planetary health workers and to position rangers more effectively within global conservation and environmental policy mechanisms. It introduces the challenges facing rangers, the emerging diversity of roles within the ranger profession and the important contribution of rangers to conservation and sustainable development. It presents policy and implementation avenues to improve recognition and professionalization of rangers as key executors of conservation and development policy, particularly considering the recent Global Biodiversity Framework ambitions.

基本的行星卫生工作者:在全球政策中定位护林员
我们的星球正面临越来越多的挑战:气候变化、生物多样性丧失、流行病、贫穷以及与环境恶化密切相关的许多其他问题。与此同时,我们最重要的资产之一——在保护区工作、负责管理地球上大片土地和水域的护林员——往往没有得到充分利用、认可和装备。它们通常被排除在关于保护和可持续发展政策的辩论之外,尽管它们对这些政策的成功至关重要。本文概述了多个部门的全球领导人需要认识到护林员的职业是必不可少的地球卫生工作者,并在全球保护和环境政策机制中更有效地定位护林员。它介绍了护林员所面临的挑战、护林员职业中出现的多样化角色,以及护林员对自然保育和可持续发展的重要贡献。它提出了政策和实施途径,以提高对护林员作为保护和发展政策的关键执行者的认识和专业化,特别是考虑到最近的全球生物多样性框架的雄心。

期刊介绍: Conservation Letters is a reputable scientific journal that is devoted to the publication of both empirical and theoretical research that has important implications for the conservation of biological diversity. The journal warmly invites submissions from various disciplines within the biological and social sciences, with a particular interest in interdisciplinary work. The primary aim is to advance both pragmatic conservation objectives and scientific knowledge. Manuscripts are subject to a rapid communication schedule, therefore they should address current and relevant topics. Research articles should effectively communicate the significance of their findings in relation to conservation policy and practice.
