Your donation goes to helping our ongoing projects. With no office and only volunteers we try and streamline our overhead to make sure we can get the most out of every donation. Your support helps fund our critical efforts to help save dholes. 
  • We have helped researchers publish and share their findings about dholes in their home range countries. Currently most research is done in two of the possible 15 countries dholes may reside in.
  • We have helped publish books and literature on dholes to help with education and awareness of this cryptic species. 
  • We attended the dhole Population and Habitat Viability Assessment, a conference were everyone from government, researchers and other NGOs from different range countries come together and discus what is needed to better help stabilize the dhole population.    
  • We have given free virtual presentations to kids as young as 5 up to teens on different aspects of dhole ecology, conservation and biology. 
  • We have created and made available lesson plans that teachers can use and modify to best fit their curriculum that are centered around dholes while still being variable enough to each basic concepts. 
  • We continue to be a reference and research aid for those looking for information on dholes in any capacity. 
We're not done yet either! Covid-19 slowed us down, but we're not out. We are looking forward to rebuilding the field research capacity in the future but want to make sure it is safe for the people on the ground. In the mean time we are creating a bigger awareness for dhole in social media, in schools and anyway we can. 
So let me ask you, will you help save dholes?

Donate right to a project

We understand that sometimes people want their donation to go right to a project. We allow you to do that. The following projects are getting funds from the Dhole Conservation Fund.
IUCN- Dhole Working Group

​The IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Dhole Working Group has been hard at work over the last few years. We were able to join them for their last in-person group in 2019 where they worked towards a Population and Habitat Viability Assessment for dholes across their range. Due to covid and a halt on international travel there has not been another in person meeting, but work continued within the group as they met quarterly via video meetings. Now with travel back up and running the Dhole Working Group looks to gather again for a conference in 2023!

Dhole's of Nepal - Coexistence 
​
The Friends of Nature Nepal (FoN Nepal) currently have two projects going that we are helping fund one, both benefit dholes just in different ways.
Annapurna Conservation Area - The first project we have partial funded and would love to get them to the point of full funding. These is a combo of ecology and conflict prevention and resolution.

Ramaroshan Wetland Complex – FoN Nepal would like to take their approach that worked in Annapurna Conservation Area and apply into another area. This region has not been full assessed at the moment, but dholes are known to inhabit the complex. Sadly, there is also known conflict. This would be a long-term project we would love to see develop throughout the years.

Dhole Awareness and Understanding in Nepal

This dhole conservation project spans three landscapes in Nepal, each with its unique importance for dhole conservation. Our projects prioritize communities as the key stakeholders. Through sound research, community engagement, and habitat protection, we are dedicated to ensuring the survival of this endangered species in these critical areas.

Dhole's of Cambodia 
The Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation (GTAEF) does work primarily with Elephants in Cambodia but their concession is home to a breeding population of dholes. They also the protectors of a critical corridor between two National Parks, it is under threat of land grabs right now. One of the parks also could become great habitate for dholes to repopulate, but they will need the corridor to do so.
