Park Rangers: Our story

Last Thursday, November 5th, the first episode of Guardaparques: Nuestra historia (Park Rangers: Our Story), a podcast created as part of the Natural Heritage of Peru Initiative of the National Service of Natural Areas Protected by the State - Sernanp, was released in order to make visible and revalue the work carried out by park rangers within the natural protected areas of Peru.

In Park Rangers: Our Story, every Thursday we will learn a different conservation story, told by its protagonists: the park rangers of the natural protected l areas of our country, who have taken on the difficult task of ensuring the protection of our natural resources and respect for our communities. All of this with the objective of conserving our natural heritage and biodiversity for future generations.

 

In the first episode, we learned the story of Flor de María Huarca, a 27-year-old park ranger in the Machiguenga Communal Reserve, located in the department of Cusco. Like many other park rangers, she divides her duties between permanent control and monitoring, and environmental education.

In the second episode, we follow César Navarro, a park ranger with more than 25 years of experience, who has worked in the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve and is now in the Alto Mayo Protected Forest. Deeply committed to conservation, many of these guardians of nature have found in the activities with children a space to share their love for nature and encourage the proposal of sustainable actions for the care of the environment. They work every day to build Peru, a task in which we can all be agents of change.
