Zebras and wildebeest share a fascinating symbiotic relationship that reflects nature’s intricate balance, particularly during the Great Migration.

As bulk grazers with strong teeth, zebras tackle long, coarse grasses, paving the way for wildebeest, who prefer the tender shoots revealed below. This sequential grazing not only sustains the herds but also maximizes the nutritional value of the grasslands and supports the Serengeti’s biodiversity, shaping the landscape for countless other species.

It’s a remarkable display of interdependence that defines the wild—each species contributing uniquely to the harmony and resilience of the whole.

This International Day of Education, we’re celebrating the incredible impact of the Jasiri Environmental Ambassadors Program, an initiative by the Friedkin Conservation Fund (FCF), our dedicated conservation arm. Through this program, we’re shaping the next generation of environmental stewards.

In 2024, the program entered its third year, reaching 576 students across nine secondary schools in Tanzania’s Meatu District. Through environmental awareness and life skills development, these young minds are gaining the tools to protect their natural heritage and inspire lasting change in their communities.

Education is the foundation of conservation, and every student we support is a step toward a brighter, more sustainable future.
