As head of the Centre for Environmental Education in the region of the Judean Desert, ranger Efi Crassac is particularly committed to building a bridge between nature conservation and local communities: in collaboration with local families, school classes and teachers, she and her team have succeeded in significantly reducing a major threat to the endangered Nubian ibex.
The Judean Desert is home to a population of Nubian ibex, a species of which there are fewer than 5,000 worldwide. The protection of this endangered animal is one of the tasks of ranger Efi Crassac. She and her team have succeeded in averting a threat to these rare animals over the past eight years. In a major project with the local communities, they have convinced people how simple and important it is to protect the Nubian ibex. All they have to do is treat their dogs with a simple method against a pathogen transmitted to the ibex.
See here another example of how the rangers’ work is helping people unite behind a common goal: the conservation of biodiversity and our remaining natural treasures.
With the topic of our 6th European Ranger Congress: ‘Rangers – the Voice of Nature: Building a Bridge between Local Communities and Nature Conservation’, we will learn from exactly such success stories and skills of rangers and nature conservation experts from all over Europe and beyond. Join us in exchanging and discussing successful and new ways in which rangers convert the big goal of conservation to a common goal with strong support from the population.
From 6 to 10 October in Romania, Brasov County:
