A_Muse_Mint101: Poachers aren’t only a threat to endangered animals. They are also the reason that rangers who protect wildlife are killed more often than police officers. Some governments do not allow rangers to be armed while on patrol, making them easy targets for profit-driven poachers.

Rangers are well aware of the danger, but gladly face it because they so strongly believe in the conservation work they are doing. Rangers are not well compensated by the government and may rely on nonprofits to donate equipment and food while they are on patrol.

Wildlife crime is the fifth most lucrative criminal activity in the world.
