Protecting nature starts with protecting people.
As part of the Basic Field Ranger Course, 50 newly graduated rangers in Badingilo park have completed specialized training on human rights, lawful arrest and vehicle search procedures, and the prevention of sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment (PSEA/SH).
This training strengthens the knowledge and professionalism of the next generation of conservation rangers, helping ensure that wildlife protection is grounded in accountability, respect, and community trust. By embedding human rights principles safeguarding minimum standards into ranger development, we are supporting responsible conservation that safeguards both people and nature. At African Parks, respect for human rights is a core value and fundamental to how we work alongside communities to protect South Sudan’s natural heritage.
We are proud of these ranger graduates and grateful to the partners supporting efforts to build a future where people and wildlife thrive together.
