(Xinhua/Liu Qiong)As dawn breaks over Ol Kinyei Conservancy in Kenya's Maasai Mara ecosystem, rangers are already combing the grasslands for signs of unauthorized entry and poaching while keeping a close watch on wildlife.
Among them is Chinese conservationist Zhuo Qiang, nicknamed "Simba," the Swahili word for lion. For him, this early-morning routine is driven by a broader mission to achieve human-wildlife coexistence.
In 2010, Zhuo left his job in China at the age of 37 and embarked on a less-traveled path: pursuing wildlife conservation in Kenya.
Without professional training in wildlife conservation, he found himself in a territory then dominated by Western organizations and local practitioners.
But Zhuo decided to stay. "I wanted to prove that Chinese people could also do wildlife conservation," he said.
Initially, Zhuo saw conservation largely through the lens of wildlife science: working in the field, studying animals and collecting data.
Living and working with Maasai communities changed that perspective. "The fate of wildlife was closely tied to the people sharing the same land," he said.
In the Maasai Mara ecosystem, livestock grazing is deeply connected to the livelihoods of pastoral communities. "If local people are asked to stop grazing but are given no alternative source of income, conservation cannot be sustainable," Zhuo said.
That principle laid the foundation for his work with the local community in establishing the Ol Kinyei Conservancy.
The area had suffered from prolonged overgrazing, with plants and the land itself deteriorating. Under the conservation model, local grazing land was leased and gradually restored, allowing vegetation to recover and creating a more suitable habitat for wildlife, said Zhuo.
Meanwhile, households participating in the scheme receive land-rental income and have access to jobs such as wildlife rangers and tourism workers. Their average annual income has increased from around 500 U.S. dollars to about 3,700 dollars, according to Zhuo.
Some residents from surrounding communities also learned from the experience and brought the approach back to their own grazing areas.
Nowadays, 26 private conservancies have been established around the Maasai Mara National Reserve, covering about 1,600 square km, according to Zhuo.
He believes the network of community conservancies provides additional safe space for wildlife to move and survive, extending conservation efforts beyond the boundaries of a single national reserve and into surrounding communities.
Simon Msago, a Maasai community leader in Ngoswani, said Zhuo's work encouraged more residents to take an active role in conservation.
In the past, many residents saw few direct benefits from wildlife conservation and had limited awareness of its importance. Today, community members are increasingly willing to work as rangers and protect wildlife, creating an effective layer of protection around the conservancies, Msago said.
"Human-wildlife conflict cannot be solved simply through restrictions and prohibitions. The key is to create alternative sources of income so that residents can gain tangible benefits from conservation," Zhuo said.
"That is what makes community-based conservation sustainable -- allowing local people to become part of wildlife conservation rather than bystanders with no stake in it."
While continuing his work in the Maasai Mara, Zhuo has also sought to strengthen exchanges between China and Africa in wildlife conservation.
In recent years, he has visited more than 30 nature reserves and national parks in China, sharing his experiences of community-based conservation in Africa with Chinese counterparts.
"Conservation practices in China and Africa each have their own characteristics, and there is much that the two sides can learn from each other," he added.

。      北京8月25日电（记者谢希瑶、黄韬铭）国务院新闻办公室25日举行新闻发布会介绍第二十六届中国国际投资贸易洽谈会有关情况。商务部副部长兼国际贸易谈判副代表凌激在发布会上介绍，从目前跨国公司对中国投资，以及他们近年来参加投洽会情况来分析，跨国公司对华投资新趋势概括起来有“三个转变”。  第一个转变是从“注重成本”向“注重价值”转变。当前，外商投资中国已不仅仅看劳动力、土地这些传统要素成本，他们更关注高效的产业生态、优越的基础设施，特别是现在的绿电、算力等新型生产要素供给，以及高效的供应链体系，充满活力的创新生态和高素质的人才供给。

二 | 这些优势都是跨国公司在中国发展的重要驱动力，也是他们在全球形成竞争力的重要因素。  第二个转变是从“填补空白”到“锻造实力”转变。早期跨国公司主要瞄准中国的资金和供给缺口，从引进资金、成熟技术到商业模式和管理就可以在中国较快获得成功。这些年随着中国产业发展水平提升，市场竞争日益激烈，消费应用场景的丰富和日趋多元化，越来越多跨国公司把中国作为提升其全球竞争力的“训练场”或“健身房”。

三 | “我们同很多跨国公司高管交流中，经常听到一句话，‘如果你在中国市场能取得成功，那你就能够在世界其他地方取得更大成功’。”凌激说。  第三个转变是从“独立运营”向“协同发展”转变。过去很多外资企业在华投资都是搭建自己的研发和供应链体系，依托跨国公司内部的产业生态来完成供应链的配套，所以过去很多外资企业在中国都是“大进大出”的。随着中国产业链供应链体系日趋完备和高效，现在越来越多外资企业正深度融入中国产业生态，本土化水平不断提升，与中方合作伙伴的协同发展日益加强。
