An armed ranger is on duty in the Mago National Park, Ethiopia. The
Mago National Park in Ethiopia was created to protect the population of
wildlife, like elephants, rhinos and giraffes, which has been sadly almost
destroyed by poaching. Being a park ranger is serious business. The men
and women who take on this work risk their lives to defend the land and
animals from poachers.
