What we've been up to
November 30, 2022
It’s the end of the year and although the fiscal year might change we continue on, after all end of the year just means the seasons are starting over again. We are taking the month of December off to allow for everyone to travel and be with family. It might be hard to believe but everyone that helps with the Dhole Conservation Fund are volunteers and often gives a total of 40+ hours a week to keep it running. Every day emails are check, social media is done, grant application and donor letters sent and the gift shop inventory and shipping keeps us busy. It’s a dedication to a cause we are very passionate about, and it really is never a dhole moment here. Being 100% virtual also means we are not tied to an office so we can work at all times. That being said we need to unplug for a bit and if we don’t schedule it, it won’t happen.
As we recharge we look forward to an amazing 2023 ahead of us. We look forward to see what our partners in Cambodia and Nepal see with their dhole projects. We can’t wait to see new and familiar faces at the Working Group. What new kids will we get to educate and entertain as we deliver a program about dholes. We also can’t wait for new partners to join us in our rally.
Some things are already starting to fall into place, we are getting things together for World Dhole Day on May 28th, We hope all of our old partners for this event will join us again in 2023, and hopefully we will move along to Europe and Asian zoos as well.
2022 saw an increase in projects not only that we help fund but also in ask. There is more interest in dholes and that’s great. We are getting more and more emails about people wanting to do projects with dholes, film and photograph dholes and just wanting to hear more about them. This is all great but sadly in 2022 our individual donations have dropped. Our loyal supporters have gotten us through one of the darkest times in our generation and it is unfair for us to rely solely on those individuals. We will be working on getting ourselves out there more and seeing who else we can get to join our cause and help us be able to say yes to helping all these people in inquire.
2023 should be another growth year for our small fund and we look forward to providing more high caliber dhole information and fund stories and photos on all out social media platforms.
Have a safe holiday season where ever you are and spend it with those you love, be it the family you were born with or the family/friends/pets/animals that you choose. See you in the new year!
