Over the last year we have seen the introduction of two new German Shepherd dogs to assist with the anti-poaching effort, celebrated the 14th year of the DSWF supported Children's Bush camp and seen the first female anti-poaching scouts join the team!
The anti-poaching unit has completed yet another lifesaving year collecting more than 2,5000 snares, patrolling 19,500KM in 6, 500 hours and arrested 14 poachers. The removal fo these snares alone saved the lives of more than 250 animals, knowing from experience, that approximately 10% snares set have a fatal impact.
In it's 14th anniversary, the Children's Bush Camp has had another busy year reaching 830 children from 28 local schools. Since its inception in 2001, over 12,000 children from eh local communities have visited Painted Dog Conservation. Berlinda, one of the new female anti-poaching scouts, attended the camp when she was eleven years old and is now a full time employee - evidence of the camps conservation success!
We could not have done any of the above without your help, thank you for your continued support and celebrating our success!
