About Us关于我们

HWF team with Kenya Wildlife Service rangers in Maasai Mara

In 2014, Fu Liu · Xiaoling Cao · Yingcui Cai · Simba Qiang Zhuo established Habitat Watcher Foundation (HWF) in California, united by a shared vision: to bring together like-minded individuals to protect wildlife habitats through borderless cooperation.2014年,Fu Liu 刘赋 · Xiaoling Cao 曹筱玲 · Yingcui Cai 蔡英萃 · Simba Qiang Zhuo 星巴 4位创始人在加州共同发起成立了栖息地守望者基金会(HWF),希望集合更多志同道合的朋友,通过无国界合作的方式来保护野生动物的自然栖息地。

Since its founding, HWF has continuously supported wildlife conservation in Kenya's Maasai Mara through funding and technical assistance — covering habitat protection, human-wildlife conflict mitigation, wildlife rescue, community education and sports, women's employment programs, and conservation magazine publishing.自成立以来,HWF持续通过资金捐赠和技术支持推动肯尼亚马赛马拉地区的野生动物保护事业,涵盖栖息地保护、解决人兽冲突、野生动物救助、扶助社区教育和体育、扶助妇女就业、出版野保杂志等领域。

HWF has actively promoted wildlife conservation awareness through lectures at Harvard, MIT, USC, the University of Vermont, UCLA, and Google HQ, as well as featured talks with Sing Tao Daily, the USC US-China Forum, LA Chinese Radio, the California AI Conference, and the Southern California Environmental Protection Association.HWF在北美积极开展野生动物保护理念推广活动,包括在哈佛大学、麻省理工大学、南加大、佛蒙特大学、加州大学洛杉矶分校、谷歌总部举办野保主题讲座,以及在侨报、南加大中美论坛、洛杉矶中文广播、加州人工智能大会、南加州环保协会做专题演讲。

From 2015 to 2025, HWF recruited over 100 volunteers to Kenya — more than 70% of them youth and high-school students. They gained global perspective, leadership skills, and field survival experience, returning home as exceptional students welcomed by top U.S. universities.从2015至2025年连续5年,HWF共招募100多位志愿者赴肯尼亚,其中70%以上是青少年和高中生。他们增长了见识、培养了领导力和野外生存能力,回国后成为受美国各大名校欢迎的优秀学生。

Our Projects我们的项目

Our work is built around three connected pillars: Conservation, Community Empowerment, and Youth Leadership. Each project is designed with local partners and rooted in long-term impact.我们的工作围绕三大相互关联的支柱展开:自然保护、社区赋能和青年领袖培养。每个项目都与当地伙伴共同设计,致力于长期影响。

Wildlife 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。

Human-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。

Wildlife 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
Community 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。

Women'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。

Education for Wildlife Conservation Project野保教育项目

Education is a long-term solution for global ecological protection. Better education helps young people cultivate environmental awareness from childhood and effectively influence their families, teachers, and peers. We develop suitable courses supporting all aspects of education.教育是促进全球生态环境和野生动物保护的长期解决方案。更好的教育可以促进青少年从小培养出环保和野保的意识,并有效影响父母、老师、同学和朋友。我们研发更适合的课程,关注教育的各个方面。

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. Education Support① 教育支持 — Long-term sponsorship for academically motivated students from low-income families, with priority for girls completing primary and secondary schooling. —— 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. Women's Empowerment② 女性赋权 — Subsidizing qualified female teachers to raise rural education quality and lift women's social and economic status in the community. —— 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. Ecological Awareness③ 生态意识培养 — Embedding wildlife-conservation curriculum into classrooms so the next generation grows up as protectors of the land they call home. —— 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。
