Painted Dog Conservation Project Hwange
There are only a few thousand Painted Dogs (aka Wild Dogs) left. This project near Hwange in Zimbabwe rehabilitates orphans and injured dogs. Watch them feed and listen to their calls. Visit GreatGuides.Org for audio downloads, photos and writing and the project.
Painted Dog Conservation Zimbabwe
Painted Dog Conservation is considered by many to be a model for conservation.
Our vision is to create an environment where the painted dogs can thrive.
Our Mission is to protect and increase the range and numbers of Painted Dogs, (Lycaon pictus) in Zimbabwe.
Painted Dog Conservation Project
Featured Speaker: Greg Rasmussen, Ph.D. Director, Painted Dog Conservation
Greg Rasmussen (born in London, UK) is a British Wildlife conservation biologist who has studied the African Wild Dog for over twenty years, working in the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. He is the founder and Director of the Painted Dog Conservation project.
Painted Dog Conservation (PDC) is a leading model for community-based predator conservation. By combining the most advanced modern technology with traditional knowledge of local communities, PDC has experienced great success -- Zimbabwe's wild dog population has increased from 400 to 700 individuals since the project's inception. PDC's model also brings direct benefit to local people with increased employment and unparalleled education opportunities.
Dr. Rasmussen was also featured on an episode of Discovery's I Shouldn't Be Alive. The episode recounted the story of his survival after a plane crash while he was tracking a rhino. For more information on Dr. Rasmussen visit Wildlife Conservation Network.
Originally filmed at the Saint Louis Zoo on October 24, 2012.
Painted Dogs in Zimbabwe fighting back survival thanks to PDC
A species once numbering some 500,000 spanned across 39 African countries, the African Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus) is now one of the most endangered species on the continent. But following the fantastic work done by Painted Dog Conservation in Hwange, Zimbabwe, the species is bouncing back!
We hope you enjoy this video of our recent visit to the Painted Dog Conservation Centre in Hwange and learn more about the amazing work they do!

African Wild Dogs (aka Painted Dogs) Makwa Pack, Hwange Nat'l Park, Zimbabwe
African wild dogs, also known as Painted Dogs, are incredibly social creatures. They live in carefully organized packs in which each dog has a specified job, from hunter to pup baby-sitter. The dogs rely on each other and are one of the only wild species to care for their sick and old.
African wild dogs used to range across Africa, with 500,000 dogs in 39 countries. Impacted by poaching, road kills, and mining and logging that destroy habitat, now only 5,000 dogs are thought to remain.
Although this video was shot in Botswana, Zimbabwe is where the Painted Dog Conservation is headquartered, which is one of the last strongholds left.
Unemployment levels in Zimbabwe are extremely high, meaning people rely on illegal hunting -- which threatens the dogs -- for food and income. In addition to working on direct threats like snaring, Painted Dog Conservation works closely with local people to provide income from other sources and to develop in local people an appreciation for the dogs and the value of conservation.
Please consider a donation to PDC to help preserve this endangered species.100% of the donation goes to PDC.

What caused the Painted Dog's decline?
As you are probably now aware, our first focus species is the painted dog, a carnivore that inhabits sub-Saharan Africa.
A few weeks ago, Will had the amazing opportunity to interview Dr. Greg Rasmussen, Founder of the Painted Dog Research Trust. Dr. Greg has been monitoring painted dog populations in Zimbabwe for over thirty years.
This clip of the interview outlines the main causes of decline in painted dog populations over the last 100 years.
So sit back, and enjoy a bit of painted dog history!

Hwange Painted Dogs
On safari at Elephants Eye Hwange when we came across a pack of wild dog on the concession. They were as intrigued with us as we were them. A privileged moment to spend time appreciating these beautiful animals.
Hwange National Park - African Wild Dog, Zimbabwe, Africa
Such a treat to see the African wild or hunting dogs or Painted Dogs are certainly a beautiful, unique, and fascinating animal.
Painted dogs are native to Africa, and aren’t found in the wild anywhere else on the planet. They live in small pockets across a handful of countries including Zimbabwe, the home of Painted Dog Conservation. There are roughly 700 painted dogs here, and the Conservation Program work with local populations of both humans and dogs—via conservation, education, and outreach programs—to help the dogs not only survive here, but thrive.

Painted Dog Conservation: The Trials and Tribulations of Conserving an Endangered Predator
Featured Speaker: Greg Rasmussen, Ph.D. Research Director, Painted Dog Conservation
Greg Rasmussen grew up in Zimbabwe where he developed a strong affinity for wildlife and spent his school holidays in the laboratories of the Natural History Museum. He has worked with the painted dog exclusively for 24 years and, consequently, is one of the top authorities on painted dogs.
Painted Dog Conservation (PDC) is a leading model for community-based predator conservation. By combining the most advanced modern technology with traditional knowledge of local communities, PDC has experienced great success -- Zimbabwe's wild dog population has increased from 400 to 700 individuals since the project's inception. PDC's model also brings direct benefit to local people with increased employment and unparalleled education opportunities.
This Conservation Conversation will discuss the unique ecology of the painted dog and how studying the painted dog in a landscape dominated by negative attitudes and misconceptions is leading to changing attitudes of ranchers and the general public.

From 10/21 to 11/9 of 2013 I was able to work alongside PDC in Zimbabwe, Africa, on behalf of the SeaWorld Busch Gardens Conservation Fund. This is a video I made about this amazing organization.
Wild Dogs Waterberg
The season launched with a serious look at our country's rarest carnivore, the African wild dog. Modern technology has allowed us to monitor this predator's behaviour and population dynamics in KNP better than ever before and social media has also greatly aided in wild dog conservation. However, wild dogs are still facing many threats.
We take a look at the Wild dogs of the Waterberg.
