Environmental Rangers

The Environmental Rangers (E-Rangers) project was first launched in November 2020. The main role of the E-Rangers is to raise environmental awareness and ensure that the general public respects the rural environment. The E-Rangers work closely with local communities and interact with the public during frequent patrols and visits in protected areas including Natura 2000 sites.
