What we've been up to
April 28th, 2023
ONE MONTH OUT! We are one month away from World Dhole Day and one month away from the IUCN Dhole Working Group.
World Dhole Day is going to be a bit different this year, sadly one zoo that has supported us in the past had their dholes pass away this year due to health issues. We still have a few though that will be supporting and doing some World Dhole Day activities. We also have a zoo in Japan that will be setting up and table and talking to their guest about dholes! We also added a new color for the World Dhole Day shirt! A more neutral and light color was chosen to compliment the Military Green that we currently offer. We are still excited to see this day grow and hopefully, we can get more involvement next year. With two big things going on it was hard to dedicate a lot this year for World Dhole Day, but we think the other event going on is more important.
Starting June 1st, researchers and conservationists will be coming together in Nepal to talk over dholes and their Red List status. Work on this has been going on since 2019. Many of the range countries will have a representative there which is great news! Most of the published work comes from the same regions so it can be hard to get a great assessment when different areas have varied habitats and threats to conservation.
Through all this, we still offer support and education programs to those wanting to learn more about dholes and those researching dholes. We couldn’t continue our important work without your support.
Thank you!
