s|| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |Summary ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year||||2020has been a difficult year due to the Covid-19 pandemic
but despite
the elfects it had on our work we were still able to raise the funds needed
to donate to fulfil our basic objectives that we planned
forthe year. The
funds raised have gone specifically to projects that tie in with our main
focus points written
in our conservation
strategy which trustees signed otf|| |||||in previous years.|| |||||In December trustees agreed on a new mission and vision to better|| |||||reflect the work that we support and undertake.
Our two objectives|| |||||(matching our charitable objects) are to conserve and to educate.|| |||||Our new mission is to work with others to protect and monitor lion|| |||||populations
in the wild. Our new vision is a future where viable|| |||||populations
thrive while coexisting
with local communiTies
in sustainable|| |||||areas ofhabitat.|| |||||One ofour trustees and representatives
from two ofour supporters|| |||||visited the headquarters
ofthe Mara Predator Conservation
Programme|| |||||(MPCP) in the Olare Motogori Conservancy
in February 2020. Itwas a|| |||||great opportunity
to meet and shadow the MPCP team on the ground and|| |||||tosee the work thai they carry out. Our visiting trustee was very|| |||||impressed
with the work ofthe MPCP, their commitment
to lion|| |||||conservation
in the Maasai Mare ecosystem
and their work with the local|| |||||people that live alongside them. This eye opening
trip (funded
independently
and not part ofcharity funds) allowed our chairman
and|| |||||two supporters to gain an insight
into the work ofthe MPCP, to leam from|| |||||the staff through
presentations
and tojoin them on their daily drives to|| |||||monitor the lions in the study areas as well as an opportunity
to see the|| |||||MPCP's identification
database and to see the other interesting
work that|| |||||goes on in their office and their education
hub.|| |||||Trustees have also started to work with Apex Extmme to coordinate
and|| |||||maintain
a 'Lion Keepers Resource Group' which will be hosted on the|| |||||SLCFwebsite. This will be afree resource which will be password|| |||||protected and open to zoo keepers to browse. Zoo keepers will be|| |||||encouraged
to share information
relating to any aspects of lion care,|| |||||husbandry
and anything
else that may be zoo related that has been|| |||||approved
by a senior manager which will be emailed tothe trustees and
uploaded
onto the page. The idea ofthis is to give something
back to our
zoo supporters
by providing a place to share knowledge
and ideas that|| |||||can advance
lion care and husbandry
and zoos in the UK and further|| |||||afield. This is still aworking
progress and plans are in place to launch|it| |||||formally
in Spring 2021.This work will go towards our charitable
objective|| |||||to support and publish
research to advance the husbandry
of lions.|| |||||Su

National Park and trustees|| |||are pleased to continue
our sponsorship
ofKuya foryet another year.|| |||Founded
in 2007, Lion Guardians
has trained and supported|| |||communities
at seven different sites to successfully
protect lions across|| |||the continent.
Their approach
involves
recruiting
young,
non-literate|| |||Maasai and other pastoralist
warriors to leam the skills needed to|| |||effectively
mitigate
conflicts between
people and wildlife,
monitor
lion|| |||populations,
and help their own communities
live with lions. Byactively|| |||engaging
in their solutions-based
conservation
model, people who were|| |||once lion killers are transformed
into lion protectors.|| |||The donation of$1500(61106.60) continues to cover his yearly salary as|| |||he monitors
his particular area to ensure that the lions and the habitat|| |||remain protected. Bysponsoring
Kuya we are assured that our donation|| |||will not be used purely for administration
fees and would impact work on|| |||the ground to protect lions in the wild.|| |||In January 2021 we sent a donation of E1106.60 ($1500)to Lion|| |||Guardians.|| |||Future Kin sP

(Kenya INffdffye Trust)|| |||The Mara Predator Conservation
Programme
was formed
in 2018by|| |||merging the Mara Lion and Cheetah projects together. They are run by|| |||the Kenya ytlildlife Trust which focuses predominantly
on predator|| |||conservation
through
community
work and science based groundwork.|| |||The three goals ofthe Mara Predator Conservation
Programme
are to|| |||help community
members
and landowners
understand
and appreciate|| |||the role ofpredators
in the ecosystem, to ensure that key stakeholders|in| |||the Greater Mara Ecosystem consistently
utilise sound scientific|| |||information
to inform conservation
strategies and to support stable,|| |||healthy predator
populations
in the Greater Mare Ecosystem
by providing|| |||scientific evidence for conservation
action.|| |||Trustees have heard from the Mare Predator Conservation
Programme|| |||Team that the collars as part oftheir 'collars for consenanion'
project|| |||have started to be deployed
despite progress being delayed
by the|| |||Covid-19 pandemic.
The first set ofcollars deployed
have gone onto four|| |||females and one sub adult male. The second set ofcollars are to be fitted|| |||on three sub adult males which will include our sponsored
collar and|| |||contact will be made when these collars have been fitted.|| |||Already mentioned,
one ofour trustees and two supporters
visited the|| |||headquarters
ofthe Mare Predator Conservation
Programme
in February|| |||to see first-hand
the work that they carry out.|| |||Toassist the MPCP team throughout
the pandemic,
in January 2021|| |||trustees decided to donate a sum of$475 (F357.92) which is the monthly|| |||fuel budget for one oftheir lion monitoring
vehicles. Fuel is vital tothe|| |||team being able to get out and monitor the lions within the area.|| |||Kope Lion|| |||In December 2019we donated 62587.83 ($3278) to go towards a brand|| |||new collar to be used on a sub adult male lion. Kope Lion works|| |||exclusively
