RANGERS LEAD THE WAY
KARAKURA NEWS
The current state of the Forest is a bit… mixed… At one point the preservation area is lovely, however there’s been a growing concern that KPD simply can’t keep up with patrolling the area. And so there has been talks about a potential occupation as Forest Rangers. Essentially the Caretaker of the Ochiba Forest and the ones who make sure that Animal Attacks are handled professionally and hopefully doesn’t end up with an animal getting killed.
A Very niche occupation, and an even more niche workplace. My source for things like this ‘Marlene’ Czar explained that while the Idea can be good, the Ochiba forest is simply too small to even have a Forest Ranger, and would be considered as an Animal Park instead of a Nature Reserve. Now unless they decide to spend money and effort into reinstating an outer part of the Island as a Nature Reserve with more Tourism spots, then it may be viable. However as it stands, it is unlikely that we need one. However Marlene showed concern for potential Animal-Human relations, with references back to the Infamous Sankebetsu Bear incident.
The existence also insinuates that there’s a concern of Cabin Owners and Campers encountering animals or even worse, vandalizing the forest. Which at the moment often times get’s below the radar due to the absence of KPD in the Forest most of the time. While Cameras around the Forest are utilized, it is not enough to turn the Forest into a properly protected and taken after area.
Another concern is the current fear of Forest-goers of Bears. Which has been rather getting out of hand regardless whether or not forest-goers stick with the trails in the woods or not. Which can be another reason for the existence of a Forest Ranger.
But as it stands, we may never know If it’s gonna be a true occupation in Karakura.
Do you think the forest needs one? Or should they instate a new Preservation Zone before the concern of Forest Rangers can be brought up? And more importantly… Would you try to get into that Occupation?

RANGERS LEAD THE WAY

Background and Explanation
While the Ochiba Forest of Karakura is not exactly ‘vast’ there has been suggestions for a Forest Ranger as an occupation. And I looked at that as a topic and decided ‘Ah what the hell.’ and so I wanted to talk about it more in this Report, but let’s go over backgrounds.The current state of the Forest is a bit… mixed… At one point the preservation area is lovely, however there’s been a growing concern that KPD simply can’t keep up with patrolling the area.

Main Argument
One of the main arguments to have a Forest Ranger as an occupation is the existence of a Ranger Cabin in the Ochiba Forest, while completely unused. Marlene had taken a liking to visit and stayed there pretty avidly. And often helps forest visitors with plenty of things regarding the forest. And sometimes even provide lessons to those who want to learn more about animals.The existence also insinuates that there’s a concern of Cabin Owners and Campers encountering animals or even worse, vandalizing the forest. Which at the moment often times get’s below the radar due to the absence of KPD in the Forest most of the time.

Closing

Or should they instate a new Preservation Zone before the concern of Forest Rangers can be brought up? And more importantly… Would you try to get into that Occupation?
