The Game Warden has a broad range of responsibilities centered on the enforcement of laws related to wildlife, natural resources and public land use. They also investigate wildlife crimes, such as poaching, illegal wildlife trade and habitat destruction. This often involves gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and working closely with legal systems to prosecute offenders.
The Game Warden addresses any conflicts between humans and wildlife, such as nuisance wildlife in residential areas, by implementing strategies to mitigate these conflicts. This can include relocating wildlife, advising the public on how to coexist peacefully with wildlife, and taking measures to prevent future conflicts.
The Game Warden also ensures the safety of individuals engaging in outdoor activities in wilderness areas as part of their responsibilities. This can involve patrolling recreational areas, providing information on safe practices, and responding to accidents or emergencies. A common activity is usually camping or fishing within the forest grounds.
