African Wild Dogs: an endangered species by decraien
I have hours of foutage of wild dogs this is an first attampt to edit what I have and to learn how to put it on the web etc. The african wild dog, Lycaon pictus to be exact, live in packs. They require a large territory and therfore are becomming extremely rare. There are only 3 000 left in the wild (dropped from 500 000). They are listed as the second most endangered carnivore. The national parks are not large enough to sustain natural poulations and due to the habitat loss these creatures might face a bleak future. However people are increasingly aware of the urgency of protection has Painted Dog Conservation or PDC has been established to ensure that the current population is maintained. This pack was filmed in the summer of 2005 in the Selinda reserve in Botswana. Wild dogs have dissapeared from 19 coutries.
