在执法的各个方面，很少有研究关注那些负责保护野生动物保护区的人。从国际角度来看，这方面的文章更少，因为保护包括动植物在内的自然资源对于发展中国家至关重要。为了丰富有关该主题的文献，本研究探讨了南非野生动物保护官员（通常称为野外护林员）的作用。作者使用实地研究方法，检查了护林员的选拔、培训和现场行动，将公共部门官员与选定的一组禁猎区中的私营部门官员进行比较。
Of the various aspects of law enforcement, few studies have focused on those responsible for protecting wildlife conservation areas. Even less has been written on this from an international perspective where the protection of natural resources including flora and fauna can be of paramount importance for developing nations. To contribute to the literature about this subject, this research explores the role of wildlife conservation officers commonly referred to as field rangers in South Africa. Using field research methods, the authors examined the selection, training, and field operations of rangers comparing public sector officers to their private sector counterparts in a select group of game reserves.
