COMMEMORATION OF THE WOMEN PARK RANGERS

These short videos show the stories of women park rangers from Costa Rica. These are five female officials of the National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC), who perform important functions of conservation and management of natural resources of protected wild areas, specifically:

-Ostional National Wildlife Refuge.

-Cocos Island National Park.

-Barra del Colorado National Wildlife Refuge.

-Cahuita National Park.

-Tortuguero National Park.

In these stories by Yeimy Cedeño Solís, Dulce María Varela Quirós, Andrea Cruz Siles, Mirna Cortés Obando and Elena Vargas Ramírez, the personal and professional motivations that led her to take on this great challenge are reflected, and they also talk about the challenges and main tasks they do in this important work. This initiative arises within the framework of the More Women More Nature Program and as a way to commemorate the necessary and important work carried out by women park rangers in Cosa Rica.
