African Wild Dogs

Once found throughout Africa, wild dogs largest populations are now only found in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania, and Mozambique.

Wild dogs (also known as Painted Wolves) have become endangered due to habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict and their susceptibility to diseases. Wild dogs need vast amounts of space to roam, and now, due to their shrinking habitat, wild dogs populations are declining.

Conservation efforts are trying to implement protected wildlife corridors that help connect their increasingly fragmented habitats. These conservation groups also work on initiatives to reduce conflict between humans and wild dogs, such as livestock management training.
