Conservation rangers face extreme occupational and environmental stress, including exposure to conflicts, poor working conditions, and limited occupational support, placing them at high risk of psychological harm. Ranger wellbeing is central to effective and just biodiversity conservation, requiring institutional support, training, and context‐sensitive interventions underpinned by robust mental health monitoring.
