Stay Wild in Sumatra have been doing some amazing work with the Youth Rangers program. This week, they’ve completed the first phase of the program, and their children have graduated.
During the course of the program, they learned forestry skills, English, and vocational skills, and learned to patrol with the rangers in the Leuser Ecosystem rainforest.
They worked really hard and are clearly ecstatic to be full fledged Youth Rangers now, ready to defend their rainforest home as community leaders.
At the same time, Stay Wild’s rangers completed their first round of anti-poaching patrols through the rainforest, thanks to a grant by A Seed of Change (https://www.aseedofchange.org/). Included in these patrols is our partner’s first female patrol member, pictured here during one of their patrols:
We are, as always grateful for the support that makes all of this possible!
