A pack of African wild dogs two females and one male has been relocated to Zimanga Private Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal. This marks a significant step for wild dog conservation in South Africa as the species remains one of Africas most endangered carnivores. The translocation was a collaboration between the reserve, the Endangered Wildlife Trust, Wildlife ACT and several other partners.
The pack is currently undergoing an acclimation period at a temporary predator holding facility before release into the reserve.
Post-release monitoring will be supported by GPS data collected by Wildlife ACTs tracking collars as well as the reserves own on-the-ground updates.
