A week lies behind us packed with inspiring, fascinating and encouraging stories of female rangers from around the world. At the same time, World Female Ranger Week 2025 has highlighted that there is still a way to go before female rangers are recognised, equipped and employed on a equal footing with their male counterparts.

But see for yourself in the statements from rangers and conservationists from Europe and beyond that we received for this special week from 23 to 30 June 2025 – each of them highlighting one of the focus topics for every day of the week, as determined by the organiser How Many Elephants.

#Day 2 & 3: Skills & Innovations – The Impact of Female Rangers
