Being a #WildlifeRanger is a demanding job that requires dedication and physical endurance. Rangers often spend many hours a day outdoors, on day and night patrols, that can last for days, navigating challenging terrains and diverse landscapes. To ensure their safety and well-being, rangers need to have and maintain peak physical fitness. In addition to their outdoor responsibilities, Wildlife Rangers may also engage in law enforcement activities that can be physically demanding and hazardous. The ability of Wildlife Rangers to effectively carry out these tasks plays a crucial role in safeguarding both personal and public safety as well as their essential role of protecting #wildlife. In #AlUla, where 162 Wildlife Rangers help protect The Royal Commission for AlUla six #NatureReserves, covering 12,000 sq. km, #RCU has instigated a year-long comprehensive Ranger training program, in partnership with Space for Giants. Whilst the level of threat in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the law enforcement abilities of Rangers is lower than many other parts of the world, threats do remain. That coupled with the sometimes brutal climate and vastness of the deserts and volcanic rocky terrain means that for AlUla's Wildlife Ranger physical and mental fitness is vitally important. This is why SfG are putting our Rangers through a rigorous training regime, to build and start maintaining the fitness that is so essential to the job. Well done to all the RCU Rangers who have so far embraced the challenge and to Peter Newland and Keith Roberts from SfG for sharing their combined decades of experience and enthusiasm. #Wildlife #Conservation #Rangers #Safety #LawEnforcement #PhysicalFitness
