As Tandilashvili noted, “Protected areas of our country, Georgia’s unique natural treasure, are protected by more than 400 rangers distributed in 24 territorial administrations. Their activities include poaching facts, dealing with natural and unwanted fires, monitoring biodiversity, and, if necessary, ensuring visitor safety and informing them.

Almost 13% of the territory of Georgia is under the protection of our rangers.

“One of the priorities of our government is to expand protected areas and create new protected areas. We have done some very important work in this area. As of today, the area of protected areas comprise 13% of our country’s territory. This unique biodiversity needs protection, care, care, patronage. 

The responsibility of Rangers is huge; they do a very important job in protecting nature; their contribution is priceless. In celebration of Ranger Day, we rewarded all the outstanding Rangers who have succeeded in the line of duty; remembering and honouring all those Rangers who have died tragically in the line of line of duty. 

We must understand that doing such an important job is the equivalent of being a hero. The state takes care that rangers have the proper working conditions and social guarantees to do their job with dignity,” said First Deputy Minister of Environment and Agriculture Nino Tandilashvili.
