For the past 60 years,the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) has protected animals,restored lost habitats and advocated for policy changes that benefit wildlife.Now,the conservation organization is trying a new approach.
This year,AWF launched the inaugural Benjamin Mkapa African Wildlife Photography Awards.The contest aims to reach a different audience.While photography competitions are nothing new,the AWF hopes that the exhibition of winning entries will encourage African people to take a more active role in conservation.Its CEO Kaddu Sebunya said,“Africans need to take the responsibility for the conservation of their heritage.”
Photographers of all ages and backgrounds,professional and amateur,were invited to submit to the competition.A judging panel,comprised of photographers,conservationists,activists and safari guides,selected photos from 12 categories including “Art in Nature”“Coexistence and Conflict” and “Conservation Heroes”.
The “Conservation Heroes” category had special appeal for Kenyan conservation photographer Anthony Ochieng Onyango.“I realized there was a communication gap because most of what was being communicated was data in scientific publications,” said Onyango,adding that images are a simple way for people to connect to complex issues.
While there were many entries in the AWF competition,there’s only one 19-year-old Cathan Moore from South Africa among the category winners.There’s a lack of opportunity for young aspiring photographers on the continent.AWF is seeking grants and partnerships to enable more African people to participate next year,and to make nature photography competitions more accessible to those unable to pay or buy expensive camera equipment,allowing people to use whatever camera they have and photograph wildlife in urban environments.
Sebunya hopes that the competition can open up a dialogue about conservation and why it’s so important for Africa’s future.Many people in Africa look at conservation as a thing done by and for foreigners,said Sebunya.While he praised the work of international NGOs,he emphasized that it’s vital that African voices are heard and for local people to lead conservation efforts.

For his 86th birthday,Cheng Xiangwen enjoyed a corn-shaped cake his colleagues had prepared for him.“My birthday wish is to develop better corn varieties,” he says.After the celebration,he began another journey to Sanya,in South China’s Hainan Province,where he has worked most of his life.Cheng is a scientist in agriculture and spends most of his life studying and cultivating(栽培) corn.He visits Sanya in November every year and stays there for six months to cultivate corn.
Once,when he was conducting a field survey,a female farmer said to him in tears,“You graduated from college.Could you please find a way to increase the corn output here?If the yields(产量) are higher,our children will no longer suffer from hunger.” Since then,Cheng has made developing high-yield corn varieties his life’s mission.
In 1964,he came to Hainan,where it was warmer,and started his work there.He greatly shortened the cultivation period and created hybrid corn varieties for the first time.With these new varieties,farmers in Xunxian County saw their average corn output was more than 3,750 kg per hectare per year.
Despite the beautiful coastline,the environment where Cheng works used to be troubled by poverty and poor traffic.Locals once described the area as having a large number of rats,mosquitoes,and poisonous snakes.At that time,he did everything on his own.He lived in a local villager’s house and he frequently went to the mountains to chop firewood to cook.His hard work,however,has paid off.Now,authorities have approved 14 new,high-yield corn varieties Cheng helped develop.
Cheng is dedicated to developing high-yield corn varieties with stronger resistance and they are easier to harvest with machines.He still goes to the fields each day and observes and records the corn plants.“Cultivating seeds is like raising kids.Only by careful parenting can you become familiar with their strengths and weaknesses and help them to grow up healthily,” he says.

2.D　此处“if”的意思为“是否”,泥洋村很偏远,条件艰苦,所以村民不确定支月英是否会在村子里待很久。
3.D　支月英是作为一名志愿教师来到这儿的,在她之前也有很多志愿教师来到这儿。
