Leon Rasta Baird

Leon 'Rasta' Baird was a respected tour guide and senior ranger known for his deep commitment to wildlife conservation and tourism in the Rupununi region of Guyana. He was a skilled vaquero and a valued member of the Wichabai Ranch, where he was recognized for his integrity, generosity, and dedication to teaching traditional skills to children. Tragically, Baird was murdered after encountering cattle rustlers while checking on cattle at the ranch, raising serious concerns about border security and the ongoing issue of cattle theft in the area.
