Lion Guardians is a leading conservation organization that has been dedicated to the dual mission of conserving lions and preserving cultures since 2006. With their scientifically-driven and transferable solutions, they aim to promote coexistence between people and lions. The organization's innovative and adaptable conservation model is rooted in local value systems, community participation, and scientific research.

Lion Guardians recruits and trains young Maasai and other pastoralist warriors, empowering them with the skills needed to effectively mitigate conflicts between humans and wildlife. These Lion Guardians play a crucial role in monitoring lion populations and fostering harmonious relationships between communities and lions. By engaging local communities and incorporating traditional knowledge, Lion Guardians successfully transforms lion killers into lion protectors.

Based in the Amboseli-Tsavo ecosystem, Lion Guardians' operations span over close to a million acres, actively mitigating conflicts and monitoring lions in non-protected areas. They have also expanded their impact by developing projects across Africa and providing training to other organizations. With a team of passionate individuals, including program managers, trainers, research scientists, accountants, and community managers, Lion Guardians is committed to achieving long-lasting and broad conservation and livelihood impacts.

They value participation, trust, science-based approaches, coexistence, and collaboration in their work.
