officer who protects parks or forests
A person whose job is to look after a park, forest, or wild area and help keep people and nature safe.
用法パターン：
a/an [ranger] in [a park/forest]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse "ranger" with "stranger" because they sound similar. A ranger is an official worker in a park or forest, while a stranger is a person you do not know. Learners may also say "park police" when they mean "park ranger"; use "ranger" for staff who guide, protect nature, and help visitors, not just enforce laws.
類義語
park warden (Used especially in British English; focuses on guarding and enforcing rules in a park.)
対義語
poacher (A person who illegally hunts or takes animals, harming what rangers try to protect.)
