Female environmental protectors across Australia are committing to dye their hair green for World Ranger Day in a ‘Girls Go Green’ campaign to raise awareness of the plight of Rangers in other parts of the world, and to raise funds to support Rangers in less fortunate circumstances to attend the World Ranger Congress in Sept 2019 and build life changing networks and skills.
We currently lose 2-3 Rangers every week as a direct result of performing their conservation duties.
There’s going to be a lot of green hair so plenty of opportunities to strike up conversation and promote the cause.
Every three years the International Ranger Federation hosts a World Ranger Congress in a different part of the world to bring Rangers together to share knowledge, equipment and resources.
The opportunity to attend this event is limited for some Rangers who are less financially viable or supported, therefore the funds raised through this campaign will go towards sending delegates from those Ranger Associations to the next World Ranger Congress in November 2019.
We hope to support at least 5 Ranger delegates to attend from the islands within the Oceania Region, therefore a target of $25K has been established.
