Meet Sergeant Maggie - The Dedicated Ranger Leading the Fight Against Poaching AfricaClimateHope allafrica: Zimbabwe
The world is still accustomed to seeing men as wildlife rangers, however, the conservation landscape is changing. Wildlife conservation, once a sector dominated by men due to traditional gender hierarchies that prevail in societies, has started changing. Women are now taking a stand on the narrative around their role in conservation, working tirelessly to protect wildlife and habitats and defying traditional norms.
Sergeant Maggie is now in a leadership position overseeing a large team and going out every day for daily guard duty of up to five patrols a day. Her achievements are emblematic of the many successful rangers worldwide who work diligently to preserve nature and clearly portrayed through her tireless work ethic and dependable nature. She is always eager to take on additional responsibilities and host community outreach initiatives to educate on wildlife conservation.
After completing her training in lifesaver and survival training, Sergeant Maggie says it was their time for women's empowerment as women were not valued in the local communities.
