San Andreas Park Rangers Association

## Who is the SAPRA

The San Andreas Park Rangers Association - or SAPRA for short - are a Government agency operating out of the Beaver Bush Ranger Station and the Paleto Park Ranger Station, working alongside the Los Santos Police Department, Department of Justice and the Los Santos Medical Department.

Created with the intention of keeping people safe from anything they may come across in the wilderness, the SAPRA is here to protect citizens from dangers such as: natural events/disasters, wildlife or other individuals. They are a guiding voice on the rights and wrongs of hunting, fishing, and exploration of our environments.

Since the SAPRA works alongside other law enforcement agencies, they are able to distribute hunting and fishing licenses to those want to begin their journey of facing nature while enjoying everything it has to offer, while abiding by the rules and regulations enforced by the Park Rangers.

## What does the SAPRA wish to accomplish

The goals that the SAPRA wish to achieve are to protect the wildlife and its habitats while allowing people to still enjoy and partake in activities such as hunting, fishing, and allow people to truly open their mind to the fun adventures and tasks that nature presents to you.

While the SAPRA is devoted to the preservation and conservation of wildlife and its habitats, they are also here to keep citizens safe. They also aim to make sure that people are compliant of any laws or rules set by the Park Rangers and any other Law enforcement agencies.

## History of the SAPRA

The SAPRA were originally founded by Steve Attenborough and Theodore Leopold. Starting off, the department was extremely small and self funded; the founders soon learnt it to be difficult in finding other people willing to assist them in the goals they had set for their department. However, this didn't stop them from continuing to take care of the wildlife found on the island. The main goal of the association, giving a voice to the voiceless by protecting nature and animals who can't defend themselves, helped to keep them on the path they had once set off on.

The Park Rangers continued to consist of just the two of them, until a big tsunami hit the state of San Andreas. After this, the search for new Park Rangers began; with the recent events causing a massive need of nature clean up and wildlife care, the need for assistance was ever-increasing. That's when current directors, Tyler Smyth and Finn Makaveli, were introduced into the Park Rangers and trained directly by their predecessors.

The Park Rangers, has now grown into a respectful department of the state, and aim to maintain the welfare of not only people, but animals alike in their objectives. Some changes have been made such as, the motto, Park Ranger policies, as well as the main base of operations due to department size and new found jobs within The San Andreas Park Rangers Association.

## Beaver Bush Ranger Station History

The Beaver Bush Ranger Station was built by the original founders of the Park Rangers as a place of operations. The building was used as a safe place to work out of and was welcoming. Described as a small cozy office, Beaver Bush was perfect for the rangers who were just starting out. Consisting of a couple jail cells, a broken coffee machine, and just enough space and land for the small time projects the founders had in mind.

There were rumours of weird noises emanating from the building, almost like screams or animal sounds. However, many didn't think much of the animal noises due to the nature of the work being done; whereas the screams were investigated, but nothing came of it. Since nothing was discovered during the investigations, some curious minds decided to look into it. When a group of three friends decided they wanted to figure out what was going on behind the closed doors of the Ranger Station, they brought it up to the Park Rangers and stated their interest in finding the truth. Each of the friends were involved in horrific accidents, eventually leading to their untimely deaths, one in a car accident while trying to avoid a bear, another ended up drowning in the Alamo Sea and the last, a bad fall while hiking Mt. Chiliad. Nothing was ever brought to light regarding the mysterious sounds, leaving the question as to whether something odd is taking place.

Due to changes in the Park Rangers, Beaver Bush became a staple in the Rangers history, while slowly receiving less attention as the rangers began to grow out of the building and set their sights on new goals. Nowadays Beaver Bush is still used by the rangers when patrolling the area or when it is more convenient. When asked, current director Finn Makaveli replied: “I just think it's part of our history. We keep it around as it’s part of us… in a way not many could understand.”
