Every World Ranger Congress PAWA provides in-kind strategic operational and organisational support to the IRF through CORA to help protected area workers attend this important event.

In 2024 the World Ranger Congress was held in France.

In 2027 the 11th World Ranger Congress will be held in Puerto Iguazu, Argentina!

The World Ranger Congress is an initiative of the International Ranger Federation (IRF). It brings together Rangers from all over the world, giving them the opportunity to learn new skills, share knowledge and create partnerships. It occurs every three years in a different location, allowing host countries from each IRF region to raise the profile of Rangers locally and internationally. It allows them to showcase their successes, to identify how they’re addressing their regional challenges and share their knowledge and skills with colleagues from around the world.

PAWA has committed to assisting two NSW/ACT protected area workers, and one Oceania ranger to attend the 2027 World Ranger Congress.

Joining PAWA provides you with IRF membership and the ability to attend the congress.

Strict regional registration limits apply for the World Ranger Congress, so before you consider registering, please reach out to your PAWA representatives to discuss whether allocations for our region have already been exhausted.
