On Saturday, hundreds of people gathered at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro for the Maasai Olympics.<\/p>\n

(Pada hari Sabtu, ratusan orang berkumpul di kaki Gunung Kilimanjaro untuk mengikuti Olimpiade Maasai.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The event is an alternative rite of passage<\/strong> to protect wildlife, and conservationists promote it. It has a great benefit to the community because young men focus on physical training to win medals and prize money instead of lion hunts. They compete in games including spear<\/strong> throw, athletics, and high jump.<\/p>\n

(Acara ini merupakan ritus peralihan alternatif untuk melindungi satwa liar, dan para konservasionis mempromosikannya. Ini sangat bermanfaat bagi masyarakat karena pemuda fokus pada pelatihan fisik untuk memenangkan medali dan hadiah uang daripada berburu singa. Mereka berkompetisi dalam perlombaan yakni lempar tombak, atletik, dan lompat tinggi.)<\/span><\/p>\n

In Kenya, around 2,000 lions remain, and the biggest threat to them and other carnivores is human conflicts. To curb<\/strong> the practice of killing lions, Maasai cultural leaders worked with conservationists to create the Maasai Olympics. According to them, the program has had a huge impact on the lion population. Kenya is one of the few areas in Africa outside of protected areas where the lion population is stable or growing.<\/p>\n

(Di Kenya, sekitar 2.000 singa tersisa, dan ancaman terbesar bagi mereka dan karnivora lainnya adalah konflik dengan manusia. Untuk mengekang praktik pembunuhan singa, para tokoh budaya Maasai bekerja sama dengan para konservasionis untuk menciptakan Olimpiade Maasai. Menurut mereka, program tersebut berdampak besar pada populasi singa. Kenya adalah salah satu dari sedikit daerah di Afrika di mana populasi singa stabil atau berkembang di luar kawasan lindung.)<\/span><\/p>\n
