Conservation自然保护

01Wildlife Habitat Protection Project野生动物栖息地保护项目
Protecting and restoring wildlife habitats is our mission. We focus on protecting current wildlife habitats and creating opportunities to restore land where wildlife used to live.保护和恢复野生动物栖息地是我们的使命,我们聚焦于保护现有的野生动物栖息地,并创造更多机会去恢复更多本来属于野生动物的土地。
02Human-Wildlife Conflict Reduction Project减少人兽冲突项目
Due to unrestrained human activities, human-wildlife conflicts result in mass killings of wild animals. Reducing such conflicts is critical in saving wildlife species from extinction.因为人类无节制的活动,人兽冲突总是导致人类对野生动物的大规模杀害。减少人兽冲突对于拯救野生动物免于灭绝至关重要。
03Wildlife Behavior Research Project野生动物行为研究项目
Understanding relationships between species and their environment is vital for effective conservation. We encourage research aimed at promoting real conservation outcomes — not just publications and awards.了解物种之间及其与环境的关系对保护野生动物至关重要。我们鼓励以促进保护工作产生实效为目的的研究,而非仅仅为了发表文章、获得奖励。

Community Empowerment社区赋能

01Community Welfare Project社区福利项目
Only by creating an economic model that sustainably benefits local communities can we transform the relationship between communities and wildlife from hostility to friendship. Making humans and wildlife a joint community of interests is the best solution.只有创造一种让社区持续受益的经济模式,才能促使社区与野生动物的关系从敌对变为友好。让社区与野生动物成为利益共同体才是最佳解决方案。
02Women's Empowerment Project女性赋权项目
Women are the backbone of a family. We are committed to helping female students in Kenya's Maasai Mara receive better education and helping women increase their income to improve their family status — building stronger communities for lasting conservation.女性是家庭的脊梁,是社会稳定的基础。我们致力于帮助肯尼亚马赛马拉的女性学生接受更好的教育,帮助妇女提高收入以改善家庭地位,推动社区争取更好的福利。

04Human-Wildlife Relation Research Project人与野生动物的关系研究项目
The relationship between humans and wildlife is always neglected and lacks in-depth research, yet it is crucial to promote harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife.人与野生动物的关系总是被忽视,缺乏深入的研究,但对于促进人与野生动物和谐相处至关重要。

Lion Scholarship Initiative狮子奖学金项目

"Let every child grow as brave as a lion — taking responsibility through capability, and protecting the world through responsibility." — From the Mara, for the future of the Earth."让每一个孩子像狮子一样勇敢成长,以能力承担责任,以责任守护世界。" —— 来自马赛马拉,为地球的未来。

A joint initiative of the Habitat Watcher Foundation and the Mara Wildlife Conservation Academy, the Lion Scholarship roots education in Kenya's Maasai Mara — a landscape where human-wildlife conflict, climate pressure, and rural poverty meet. Research consistently shows that expanding education, especially for girls, is one of the most durable ways to reduce poverty, improve public health, and strengthen ecological stewardship. In a community where many gifted students — especially girls — are still at risk of dropping out, the Lion Scholarship sets out to change that.狮子奖学金由 HWF 栖息地守望者基金会与马拉野保学院联合发起,扎根于人兽冲突、气候压力与乡村贫困交汇的肯尼亚马赛马拉。大量研究表明,扩大教育机会、尤其是女性教育,是减贫、改善公共健康、强化生态守护最持久的路径。在众多有学习潜力的孩子(尤其女学生)仍面临辍学风险的社区里,狮子奖学金正是为此而生。

Three Objectives三大目标

  1. 1. Education Support — Long-term sponsorship for academically motivated students from low-income families, with priority for girls completing primary and secondary schooling.① 教育支持 —— 为家境贫困、品学兼优的学生提供持续资助,重点支持女学生完成基础与中等教育。
  2. 2. Women's Empowerment — Subsidizing qualified female teachers to raise rural education quality and lift women's social and economic status in the community.② 女性赋权 —— 资助符合条件的女性教师就业,提升乡村教育质量,同时增强女性在社区中的社会与经济地位。
  3. 3. Ecological Awareness — Embedding wildlife-conservation curriculum into classrooms so the next generation grows up as protectors of the land they call home.③ 生态意识培养 —— 将野生动物保护理念融入学校课程,让下一代从小就成为这片土地的守护者。
