Program areas at Lion Guardians US
The Lion Guardians contributes to Wildlife Guardians' objective of protecting african lions. Lion Guardians is a not-for-profit llc in kenya working to conserve lions in southern kenya and northern tanzania by recruiting young non-literate maasai warriers to become actively engaged in protecting lions rather than killing them. Lions Guardians monitor Lion movement, warn famers when lions are in the area, recover livestock, reinforce protecting livestock fencing and intervene to stop Lion hunting parties.
The Lion identification network of collaborators (linc) is an innovative open source platform that allows for collaboration in research and conservation of african lions across international and inter-institutional boundaries.
In accordance with its mission to help promote the survival and well-being of the african Lion and other imperiled Wildlife species, Wildlife Guardians acts as fiscal agent for the following africa-based conservation organizations: we africa, pride, kope Lion, and niassa Lion conservation.
