One of the more obvious ways you can help painted dogs is by donating to conservation organizations. Even small amounts can add up & help non-profits expand their programs/efforts! Consider Painted Dog Conservation or Painted Wolf Foundation if you decide to donate! #39canimals

#39canimals You can also help painted dogs by encouraging tourism! Places like Hwange National Park & the PDC give guided tours. Not only is it good for the economy, but helps to support conservation! Even if you cannot travel, suggest visiting the painted dogs to others who can!

Organizations like Speak Out for Animals work to improve legislation around wildlife crimes, including harsher sentences for poaching & better legal protection against killing painted dogs. Legal protections are very important in conservation efforts for this species! #39canimals

Despite accounting for 2% of livestock predation, painted dogs are still blamed & persecuted outside protected areas. This, along with snaring from poachers, account for too many painted dog deaths! #39canimals #PaintedDog (doi:10.1017/S0030605308990475; doi.org/10.1046/j.1365…)

Fencing, commonly used to control wildlife movement, can be problematic for painted dogs, as the barrier not only causes habitat fragmentation but also potentially causes pack separation, livestock depredation, & retaliatory killings! #39canimals (doi:10.1017/S0030605320000320)
