New
research from Cameroon suggests that
wild dogs (otherwise known as
painted hunting dogs) have dramatically declined in northern Cameroon due to a combination of
habitat loss, the loss of prey + persecution from herdsmen.
In order to conserve this species the report's authors recommend that the
fragmentation of protected areas should be prevented and the amount of
direct human persecution reduced...
If you would like to find out more about these beautiful animals you might like to see a
