Currently, this species occurs only in localised areas of this range. African wild dogs are nomadic, highly social canids and form packs of up to 28 individuals with an average of around 8 - 12 members (Fig. 1). The main prey consists of antelope, which they mostly hunt down co-operatively. Packs are strictly hierarchical, each with a dominant (alpha) male and female. Usually only the alpha individuals breed, although the other members help to raise the young by bringing them food and by defending them. The average litter sizes is 7 - 10, although up to 19 may be born.

The gatherers have been given legal access to the resource in exchange for helping determine and promote harvesting methods that are sustainable in the long term.

    Extractions: ENTRANCE LATEST Wild dogs need urgent conservation to save them January 09, 2003 As wild dog numbers continue to decrease, with only about 350 dogs in South Africa and an estimated 4 500 in the whole of Africa, new approaches are being sought to ensure their conservation. Wild dogs are in trouble. They are the most endangered carnivore species in South Africa, with the only viable population occurring in the Kruger National Park, but even this population has halved in the past five years. Although scientists believe this to be part of a natural fluctuation, this finding serves to emphasise the seriousness of the predicament facing wild dogs in South Africa. Wild dogs need urgent conservation to save them from extinction, and new and innovative methods need to be developed to achieve this goal. This is exactly what Peter Lindsey is doing, with funding from the Green Trust. He’s doing a “a bioeconomic analysis of wild dog conservation in southern Africa”, the findings of which he hopes will indicate what exactly it would take to enable wild dogs to become economically self-sustaining – able to ‘stand on their own four feet’. In order to do this, Lindsey will first need to determine the status and distribution of wild dogs in South Africa, especially those living outside of protected areas. This will give a good indication of exactly what needs to be conserved.

Visits to primary schools encouraged Harnas to initiate a countrywide project to teach children about the various animals in Namibia. Knowing that today's children might be tomorrow's animal conservationists, they hope that contact with tame wild animals will reduce their fear and give them the opportunity to ask questions. By means of this project the van der Merwes want to foster an understanding of the importance of respectful relations with nature and to promote a willingness to protect animals. In September 1997, a group of maltreated wild dogs was rescued and as a result of this, a new project, protecting and rehabilitating these endangered species, was founded. Even though two wild dogs each lost a hind leg because of the maltreatment, the van der Merwes succeeded in integrating the captured group into a pack. A study is currently being conducted to record the characteristics of the wild dogs, as well as their social behaviour in the pack. A breeding programme has been introduced to counteract the extinction of wild dogs in their natural habit and to justify their possible rehabilitation into a safe territory. Commencing with the wild dogs, data of all animal species is to be collected and recorded. Apart from their life story, veterinarian information on diseases and vaccinations will assist in locating suitable partners for the breeding programmes. Studies on social behaviour and photos will assist in identifying those animals from Harnas that would be suitable for rehabilitation.

    Extractions: We're listening to the sounds of Wild Dogs calling to each other across the savannas and scrub lands of Southern Africa. An endangered species, African Wild Dogs find protection and companionship in extended-family groups. I'm Jim Metzner, and this is the Pulse of the Planet, presented by the American Museum of Natural History. Josh Ginsburg is Director of the Asia Program at the Wildlife Conservation Society. "Wild dogs look sort of like wolves, but not terribly much. They've got long legs and very lean bodies. They're almost greyhound-like. But they have very large ears that they move around to listen to the environment and to see what's happening. And they live in packs like wolves, with a group of males which are related to each other and a group of females that are related to each other and maybe eight to ten adults and six to eight pups in each pack. I think behaviorally they're somewhat like dogs in that they're very loyal and they're very group oriented. If you have domestic dogs go into the wild as they have in many cities and countries around the world, you have them become feral and feral dogs live in packs; they have very strong social systems; they have very structured hierarchies. And wild dogs have all that as well." The sound we're hearing now, the "who call" is one adaptation which allows African wild dogs to communicate with others in their pack, even over great distances.

    Extractions: WILD DOGS ON MALAMALA The endangered African wild dog is a social species, the average pack size in and around the Kruger Park being about nine. In a wild dog pack, breeding is usually restricted to one or two females, but all members of the pack help to look after feeding them and the mother with regurgitated meat. It was therefore interesting to hear that, as of January this year, a pair of wild dogs was regularly seen in the area of the Kruger Park MalaMala boundary. From Kruger Park photo identification records, it became apparent that the male was SHM1 and the female, GDF31. SHMl was first spotted in Kruger in 1993 as an adult. Until January 1996, he was mostly alone, roaming a 743 km area around the Stevenson-Hamilton koppies. He was occasionally seen in the company of several yearling females from the Doispane pack, whose range overlapped with his own, but before long he was alone again. GDF31 was one of 11 pups born in 1994 to the Gomondwane pack, which ranged over the Crocodile Bridge district. Wild dog identification is made simple in that every dog, despite their similarity to the untrained eye, has different colour markings. These markings permit scientists in the Kruger National Park to identify each dog from the colour markings on their left hand side. Tourists in the Kruger Park and surrounding private game reserves are encouraged to submit colour photographs, taken of wild dogs while on safari, to the scientists in Skukuza to assist in territory determination and identification.

    Extractions: April 10, 2001 Four wild dogs were released into the Umfolozi Game Reserve in Zululand on March 30 as part of The Green Trust's ongoing Wild Dog Project. (The Green Trust is managed by the World Wide Fund For Nature - South Africa and financed by Nedbank.) Wild dogs are critically endangered, with only about 4 000 left in the world. The dogs - two males and two females - had been kept in a boma (outside enclosure) for several months. On Friday 30 March, the boma was opened and a fresh impala carcass left in the grass outside to entice the four canines from their temporary home. The Wild Dog Project in the Umfolozi reserve is a necessary intervention. "If the wild dog populations in South Africa are not actively managed, the wild dog faces extinction," states Wild Dog Project Co-ordinator, Michael Somers. "Our work at Umfolozi is not to build up pack numbers in the park - it is not big enough for this - but rather to generate a wild dog gene pool so that larger parks can be restocked." He believes the only long-term solution to the problem is the creation of transfrontier parks that will give wild dogs enough room to roam. The only park with viable populations at the moment is the Kruger National Park.

    Extractions: Endangered species carnivores Ethiopian wolf conservation programme Threats to Ethiopian wolves The main threats facing Ethiopian wolves are essentially those encountered by most wildlife today: habitat loss and fragmentation and human interference. The recent decline in the numbers of wolves seems to be due to a combination of factors that result, directly or indirectly, from the above causes such as: road kills, shooting, disease epizootics, hybridization with domestic dogs and possibly loss of genetic variability. Loss of habitat can affect the survival of Ethiopian wolves in two ways:

By Caroline Wheal lirting with extinction can do wonders for your public image. Since being tagged "Africa's most endangered large carnivore," the African wild dog (Lucaon pictus) Healthy numbers of these 'painted wolves', with their distinctive mottled coats of black, orange-brown and white, used to roam throughout southern and East Africa, but the deadly combination of habitat loss, domestic canine diseases and shoot-outs with farmers protecting their livestock has taken the sub-Saharan populations to near-extinction. In 1990, a rabies virus followed by canine distemper the next year, wiped out most of the packs in the Serengeti and Masai Mara. Today, there are about 5000 wild dogs left in Africa, and only three groups of more than 350 adults. These remaining robust populations live in northern Botswana, Tanzania's Selous Game Reserve and the Kruger National Park in South Africa. In pursuit, wild dogs can run up to 60km/h. Most kills occur 600 to 800m of where the chase began. Once a pack has brought down its prey, wild dogs become the terrestrial equivalent of a school of piranhas, stripping the carcass to bone and skin in minutes. They eat fast, before lions and hyenas pirate their kill.

The main aim of the research was to investigate the behaviour and ecology of a population of African wild dogs, Lycaon pictus , in the absence of their two main competitors, lion Panthera leo and spotted hyaena Crocuta crocuta The project has been working mainly on Save Valley Conservancy (SVC), a large privately owned game reserve in the south east lowveld region of Zimbabwe. However, it has also been monitoring the whole population of wild dogs within the southeast lowveld region of Zimbabwe. To date ten radio collars have been fitted to wild dogs in different packs to assist with the research and monitoring. The project currently employs four African trackers that have proved to be invaluable field assistants. All three are experienced at foot tracking as well as radio tracking and are proficient at using handheld GPS units. Each tracker has his own mountain bike to help them keep up with the wide ranging dogs and they have been trained to write accurate reports on sightings of dogs, tracking movements and any kills located. The field work part of the PhD research finished in October 1999 but the project will continue if enough funding can be sourced.
