What we've been up to
May 19, 2020
We know you haven't heard from us in a while, don't worry we are still here and working. Many of us are currently taking care of our personal care and health but in spare time still running the Dhole Conservation Fund. I am lucky enough to still be working at this time.
We sadly had to cancel, or should I say postpone our Drinks 4 Dholes event that was going to take place in San Diego, CA. We hope to be able to have the event still in the Fall, we are just waiting for things to calm down and for it to be safe enough to do so. We had big hopes for this to be a major fundraising event for us, but with everyone hurting we are thinking of making it a social event where people can come and interact and learn about the amazing creature known as the dhole.
Right now we aren't hurting. Our board are planners and saw that we could face long times of low to no funding and so we put money away for just a time. We have stopped our current grant funding for conservation projects. Many of the projects have been put on hold anyway due to Covid 19. Once work restarts we hope to be able to fund those projects that need help. We aren't sitting dormant though, we are brainstorming and thinking of new ways to engage the public to promote dhole awareness. We still field anywhere from 4 to 15 emails a week asking about dholes and their conservation. We run a budding facebook page to get information out there quickly and efficiently.
I want to thank you so much for your ongoing support and we hope everyone is doing well. Thank you for visiting our site and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Chelsea Davis
