Painted dogs are a much overlooked species, yet they are one of the most persecuted. Few people even know they exist, let alone know of the threats they face as one of our planet’s most highly endangered hunters.
The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF) supports Painted Dog Conservation (PDC) in Zimbabwe, which is working to protect these fascinating creatures and educate local communities about their plight.
Now PDC has joined forces with top wildlife photographer Nicholas Dyer to publish a stunning coffee table book, packed with breath-taking images and wonderful tales about painted dogs – also known as painted wolves or African wild dogs.
Six years in the making, ‘Painted Wolves: A Wild Dog’s Life’ is the most comprehensive book on the species ever produced and all profits will support their conservation.
Your donations have helped DSWF support the publication of this unique book. We are proud to back this wonderful way of shining a light on this endearing species – the world needs to know about painted dogs!
A video has been put together to give viewers a taste of some of the eye-catching imagery and special moments captured in the book. It includes a commentary by the photographer Nicholas Dyer himself.
You can view the video, find out more, support the conservation campaign and buy a copy of this beautiful book of photographs and stories here.
Let’s spread the word and help protect these intelligent and playful creatures!
DSWF funds PDC’s work with communities in Zimbabwe to conserve the species in one of its last strongholds. DSWF funds vital anti-poaching work and education programmes to encourage tolerance for the dogs from local communities and land owners.
Look out for our future updates on how YOUR donations are helping to save this endangered species.
