Reply to comment by LazyG in New estimate of global number of rangers at 286,000: 'the global ranger workforce is outnumbered by employees working at golf courses and country clubs in the United States (380,000) and by employees in the UK hair and beauty industry (288,000)'.

That's why I said we do need more rangers.

I just meant that I'm not sure what the point is of comparing two radically different industries that fill totally different needs, have totally different models, and function radically different in different societies.

I'm not at all saying that there aren't good reasons for dramatically increasing the number of rangers. We should do that.

Well golf courses and hair salons can be seen as unnecessary whereas land management definitely is necessary. I think thats the point.
