ABOUT US

We protect endangered species worldwide by designing autonomous systems where technology, field research, and human collaboration come alive in the wild.

Our Approach

We believe conservation works best when technology, human intelligence, and nature operate as one. Our teams collaborate across disciplines and generations, learning by doing, building real systems, and responding to real-world challenges.

Where It Started — And Why It Evolved

Inspired by a Himalayan cat named Cheekoh from Costa Rica, Princess Aliyah founded KwF in 2008 to protect endangered species. In 2009, she joined forces with Dr. Ronald Pandolfi, blending their love for wildlife, technology, and education. Together, they sparked the Wildlife Conservation UAV Challenge in 2013→ launching the world’s first intelligent drone challenge to detect poachers and protect rhinos. Today, KwF turns innovation, field research, and human collaboration into real-world conservation that safeguards species and inspires the next generation of protectors.
