The ANI Foundation, in collaboration with the Nigerian Conservation Foundation, has recruited 40 new rangers to bolster security and law enforcement operations at Okomu National Park in Edo State. The surge in applications from the local community signals a heightened commitment to conservation, with nearly 200 young people applying compared to just 53 three years ago.

This recruitment drive signifies a shift towards community-led conservation efforts, with a focus on protecting the park's wildlife and engaging local communities. The partnership aims to combat illegal activities and promote community ownership of the park's future.
