Wild Dogs translocated to Botswana

The dogs were transferred from the Marakele National Park in Limpopo to the Northern Tuli Game Reserve in far eastern Botswana recently.

"It is intended that this reintroduction will facilitate the establishment of a  viable  population of wild dogs in the Limpopo Valley, specifically within the area earmarked for incorporation into the Limpopo-Shashe Transfrontier Conservation Area," said Harriet Davies-Mostert, manager of the Endangered Wildlife Trust's Carnivore Conservation Group.
