My name is:  \nDate:   \nWhat is a Junior Ranger?  \nJunior Rangers are important to the National Park Service.

But with a little patience you will discover that its washes and mountains are teeming with wildlife and unusual plants. The scenery is cast in varying shades of green. High in the mountains large mesquite and cedar trees grow in sheltered areas. Lower on the slopes and in the basins saguaro cactus thrive alongside organ pipe, prickly pear and cholla cacti.  \nSet aside in 1937 to protect the northernmost habitat of the organ pipe cactus, the monument also protects habitat for the endangered Sonoran pronghorn, lesser long nosed bat and Sonoran Desert pupfish. More common species include Sonoran Desert tortoise, collared peccary (javelina), kit fox, deer, bobcat and cougar.  \nA healthy population of reptiles like rattlesnakes, Gila monsters and lizards may be found among the rocks and shrubs. During spring and autumn migrations, a myriad of bird species passes through Organ Pipe Cactus, transforming the monument into a birder’s paradise.  \nRainfall, more than time of year, determines the seasons at Organ Pipe Cactus and makes the Sonoran Desert one of the greenest and most diverse deserts in the world. The Sonoran Desert has five seasons instead of four- summer drought, summer monsoon, fall, winter, and spring. Two rainy seasons-summer monsoon and winter-help many plants survive.  \nWith over 90% of its area designated as wilderness, the monument offers many opportunities to observe nature in an unfettered state. From the high points classic “basin and range” geology is easily seen.  \nAs an International Biosphere Reserve, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument along with the related reserves of Pinacate and Alta Golfo in Mexico, serves as a benchmark for monitoring and  \nunderstanding change in the Sonoran Desert and showcases one of the world’s most unique and recognizable landscapes.  \nA common saying about the Sonoran Desert is that patience is rewarded. The Tohono O’odham, Native Americans who have lived on this land for many centuries, are a very patient people. They have learned the ways of the desert and survive by living within its essence. Today the Tohono O’odham live in communities next to the monument and still return to participate in ancient ceremonies and to gather traditional foods.  \nCrystal clear night skies can be mesmerizing. So many stars are visible that it maybe difficult to focus on any single one or even pick out a constellation. After a blazing orange sunset, they appear one by one, then suddenly seem to explode into view almost like magic. With nights like those at Organ Pipe Cactus, is it any wonder why many ","cbCaiudDVW0jeChb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiudDVW0jeChb","pdf",1916473,1,17,"English","en",105,"# What is a Junior Ranger?\n# Becoming a Junior Ranger\n# Discover Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument\n# Safety First!\n## Take 5 Hints From the Desert...\n## Junior Ranger Safety Quiz","[{\"question\":\"What is a Junior Ranger, and what do they do in the park?\",\"answer\":\"Junior Rangers help Park Rangers keep national park sites clean and safe for people, plants, and wildlife.
