What we've been up to
June 10, 2022
Hello my other dhole enthusiast. May was a whirlwind, but it was a great time for dholes. In the past month we did two events and teamed up with some amazing organizations to really bring World Dhole Day (May 28th) to the forefront of the conservation community. We teamed up with organizations such as Zoo Miami, Minnesota Zoo, The Wilds, and JAB Canid Conservation Center all showed up in full forces to support dholes on this special day. From doing social media posts to talks at their facilities alongside their animal ambassadors, these organizations truly came together to spotlight these underdogs.
Last year was the first year of celebrating World Dhole Day and this year we mainly focused on promoting it in the US, which was a big step up from the previous year. However, when we tuned in to social media, we were so excited to see zoos in Europe doing their part was well in helping to spread the word of World Dhole Day! Zoos in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, and Germany posted about the day and their dhole packs. It was amazing to see the organic growth of the #worlddholeday tag.
World Dhole Day was never about raising funds for us or even to bring more attention to our organization. Our goal was to get people thinking about dholes and supporting their conservations and recovery even if it’s not through is.
So, what’s next?
Right now, I’m gearing up to do a move, so things might be quiet for a little bit while that happens. I will still be responding to emails and will still be doing some website updates. This will also mean that our Etsy store (The Dhole Den) will be on hiatus for the month. Once the move is over, we will come back in full gear, and a launch of a new page will allow you all to see everything we are working on.
