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.
