Liessi Calero became a Paso Pac\u00edfico ranger because she loves nature and believes that more people should dedicate themselves to wildlife conservation. Her favorite part of her job is getting to work with turtles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI really like it when we release sea turtles into the ocean and hold workshops to exchange ideas. I also love the turtle births and the release of hatchlings,\u201d said Liessi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liesse added that her job as a ranger has allowed her to make a bigger financial contribution to her family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy family is very happy with what I do in my work because, being in an area where there is a lot of trafficking of turtle eggs, they tell me that what we do makes a difference.\u201d Support Liessi’s work here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

Darling Delgado, also a ranger for Paso Pac\u00edfico, said that her work as a turtle ranger has inspired children in the community, including her own kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have nieces, nephews, siblings, and children who are motivated by my work to protect the turtles. They like my work and aspire to be rangers,\u201d said Darling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since she\u2019s started working for Paso Pac\u00edfico, two of Darling’s own children have become Junior Rangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy community feels very happy because we motivate children to protect animals. My family feels happy because I have learned so much about turtles compared to when I first started,\u201d said Darling. Support Darling’s work here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karen Lacayo became interested in a ranger career after attending a series of environmental workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe example we give to others, especially children, of our commitment and love of nature is a fundamental way to raise awareness of the importance of conserving our flora and fauna,\u201d said Karen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Darling, Karen said that the kids in the community, especially girls, are inspired by their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany girls who study environmental education with us and collaborate with our beach cleanups say they want to be a ranger when they grow up.\u201d Support Karen’s work here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miladys Rodriguez became a ranger to share the importance of protecting the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt makes me happy that certain children have approached me to tell me that they want to be rangers when they grow up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miladys also said that adults have approached her wanting to be part of the Paso Pac\u00edfico team. As a result, they\u2019ve gotten involved in environmental activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the help of the Paso Pac\u00edfico team, I was able to improve my skills and confidence by being involved with them.\u201d Support Miladys’ work here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elena Vargas became a Paso Pac\u00edfico ranger after realizing that the ecosystems around her weren\u2019t being protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI realized the richness and variety of our ecosystems, but also that we weren\u2019t preserving them and they were being destroyed and at risk of extinction. At that moment, I fell in love with it,\u201d said Elena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added that the community approaches the rangers in times of need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe community approaches us sometimes when they need help, because they know that we will do our best to help them. What we do is for the good of our people, our community, and our children,\u201d said Elena. \u201cAll we do is for the well-being of Mother Earth because we want to see that our children play and that they continue to breathe fresh air.\u201d Support Elena’s work here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
