Rangers losing battle in Philippine forests

It always boggles my mind when the very people who are tasked with the most important jobs - our teachers, our nurses, our soldiers, our policemen, and yes, our forest rangers - are often the ones with the most pitiful of salaries and are given the least government protection!  Here are these guys protecting our forests to make sure we have clean tap water (among the many benefits of having good forest cover) - yet they fear for their lives because some crazy people out there don't care about cutting these trees, thinking only of themselves and not of the greater good.  Thanks to this article, we are more aware of what they need and how we may be able to help them.
