This month, the U.S.Agency for International Development, or USAID, and the U.S.Department of the Interior, the DOI, announced a grant to the Kenya Ministry of Environment and the Africa Conservation Centre to support Kenya’s National Wildlife Conservation Strategy.
The grant and seven other grants awarded over the past year provide a total of$1.3 million, or 103 million Kenyan shillings, to support conservation and combat wildlife crime in Kenya and East Africa and lay the groundwork for sustained collaboration between U.S. government and Kenyan counterparts.
Wildlife crime threatens the security, economy, and biodiversity of East Africa, as demand for products like elephant ivory and rhino horn continues to rise and poaching methods become increasingly sophisticated. International networks for poaching, transit, and sale of illegal wildlife products target wildlife populations across borders, creating a complex problem that transcends national boundaries. Kenya is currently a key source and transit country for illegal wildlife products from Africa.
The conservation and sustainable management of wildlife and habitats is crucial to the region’s long term economic growth and development.
In support of the U.S. National Strategy for Combating Wildlife Trafficking, USAID is taking action to enhance wildlife management and the enforcement and prosecution of wildlife crime.
USAID has partnered with the DOI’s International Technical Assistance Program, or DOI-ITAP, on a five-year project that uses DOI’s expertise in law enforcement, investigation, and prosecution to create a strong network of regional actors to combat wildlife trafficking throughout East Africa.
Since March 2016, USAID and DOI-ITAP have funded work with government agencies responsible for managing wildlife,
Nongovernmental organizations fighting wildlife crime, and civil society groups that inform the public about this serious issue.
In addition to the Ministry of Environment grant, projects supported include grants administered by Save the Elephants to support the Elephant Crisis Fund; regional coordinating efforts and enhanced community engagement to counter wildlife crime by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature; high profile events like the Giants Club Summit; public out reach initiatives by Wildlife Direct;
security for rhino protection by the Laikipia Wildlife Forum; and organizational planning to protect wildlife at the Kenya Wildlife Service.
As U.S. Ambassador to Kenya Robert Godec noted, “By protecting wildlife and the environment, we can create jobs and build prosperity while preserving Kenya’s rich natural heritage.”
听写方法推荐
众所周知，听写是练习精听最好的方法。很多同学不知道怎么听写。下面简单介绍一下我听写时的方法。
第一步：完整的听一遍所有内容，对听写内容有大概的了解，并且抓住了一些核心词汇，为等一下的听写初步减轻难度。
第二步：以每个单句或意群为单位，一句一句的听，暂停后写。比如4.11听写内容中hang on a minute，听到这里可以点击暂停并写下这句。
第三步：边听边写。如果听完却没有写完，也没有记住漏掉的单词，那么返回去重听，补充漏掉的词。
第四步：如果一句话反复听了五遍还是没有听出来一些单词，做好标记，放弃。继续听下面。
第五步：如此下来一篇听完了。完成今天的任务了么？不！千万不要丢掉极其重要的一步：校对！
有两个方面要校对：
1.没有听出来的意群：可能包括连读或者省音,分析错误的原因并做笔记。
2.没有听出来或听错的单词:每篇校对后写在听写笔记下面并罗列,这些才是你每天的进步之基。
