July 31, 2026 Meet Cleve, one of the park rangers at Tchimpounga Nature Reserve Photo: Jane Goodall Institute As we mark World Ranger Day today, we want you to meet one of the best park rangers at Tchimpounga Nature Reserve — Cleve Loemba. Cleve and his coworkers are employed by the government in the Republic of the Congo, and the Jane Goodall Institute provides training to help them identify illegal wildlife trafficking and deforestation. Rangers are usually very busy removing snare traps, confiscating illegally-hunted or -captured wildlife, and other essential tasks — and Cleve has stood out as one of the most effective members of his team. His exceptional commitment to his job, coupled with his honesty and great work ethic, make him an invaluable asset. With his kind and helpful personality, and his effectiveness out in the field, Cleve is respected and considered indispensable. Thank you, Cleve. The team at the Jane Goodall Institute is grateful for your hard work. With you on the job, everyone can rest assured that the Tchimpounga Nature Reserve — and the rescued animals at the Jane Goodall Institute’s Tchimpounga Sanctuary — are kept safe from harm.
