The IRF seeks to represent Park Rangers on a professional level.
Every 3 years, the World Ranger Congress is held by a host country with the next one being in Chitwan, Nepal - 11 to 16 November 2019.
The IRF is a non-profit organisation established to raise awareness and support the critical work that Rangers do in conserving the world’s natural and cultural heritage.
The goals of the IRF are to provide a forum for rangers from around the world to share their successes and failures in protecting the world's heritage and to promote information and technology transfer from countries in which protected area management enjoys broad public and government support to countries in which protected area management is less well supported.
