Congo Rangers, most dangerous job in the world?
Category: In the Press, Virunga National Park | Date: May 08 2007 | By: admin
Jules Aloma brought back these photos of his troop training in the jungle around here at Mutsora.
Even though the troops are now nearly always out on patrol, it is necessary when they are back at Mutsora for them to regularly undergo more training while in a safe zone.
This way we are able to monitor the rangers and make sure that they are following all procedures correctly.
As while we’re out on patrol there is no room for mistakes, one wrong move could spell a potential disaster, which may be why Discovery Channel has labeled being a Congo Ranger as one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
They were filming part of their series here in Virunga last year. I know that I have some photos somewhere of the filming and will try and dig them out for tomorrow.
