My name is Tsolmonbayar. I’ve been working as a ranger at Lake Hovsgol National Park since 2014. As soon as I received a motorcycle from the [Rally for Rangers], I realized it was the best vehicle a ranger could ask for. My bike is faster and stronger than any other motorcycles that I know. It makes my job a lot easier and encourages me to do my best. Local people call my bike “the Blue one of the Lake.”

My name is Altangerel. I am a ranger at Otgontenger Strictly Protected Area. It’s very important for conservationists to have proper equipment and safe vehicles to work in harsh environment. The area that I patrol has particularly severe weather conditions and natural barriers. That’s why my new motorcycle is my best companion.

I`m Boldbaatar. I received a new bike from the Rally for Rangers in 2015. Since then, it’s been much easier to do my job. As of today, I traveled almost 30 thousand kilometers on park patrols. I used to ride a horse or use a private vehicle to go to work. It took most of my time, and I couldn’t do anything else. Now, I can go wherever and whenever I want in such a short time. When I went to Menge bulag of West taiga, I was the first person to reach the area on a motorcycle. Since I received my new bike, I did almost 300 days of wilderness patrol, reached out to over 4,000 local people with park information, prevented over 180 violations and exposed 21 separate illegal actions in the park. I am very thankful to everyone who worked hard to provide us with motorcycles.

My name is Byambaa. I have been a ranger since 1997. The area that I patrol, the Horidol Saridag Strictly Protected Area, is located almost 100 kilometers from the park administration. It used to take a long time for me to report incidents. So, it was a dream come true when I received a new motorcycle from the Rally for Rangers. My new bike helps me to save time and do my job more efficiently. I want to thank everyone who made this Rally happen from the bottom of my heart. May the spirits of the Mother Lake and Horidol Saridag Mountains bless them.

I am Bayarjargal, a chief ranger at Ulaan Taiga Strictly Protected Area. First of all, I want to thank everyone who kindheartedly donated to Rally for Rangers. I work in extreme conditions and patrol very rough terrain, and Yamaha AG 200 is perfect for my job. It’s very reliable, and most of all, it has excellent suspension, so my back doesn’t hurt anymore. It’s the best. I can’t elaborate enough on how much difference it has made and what a significant contribution it is to our park.
