African wild dogs view raising pups as a community effort. While it’s the dominant female that gives birth, the rest of the pack takes on babysitting duties or stands sentry outside. Once pups are old enough to venture into the wider world, they are communally and lovingly raised to adulthood by the pack. All being well, they can live upwards of 10 years. We believe protecting these incredible animals is a team effort too. Our Air Wing and SWT/KWS Anti-Poaching Teams patrol tirelessly to keep their habitat safe from human threats, and should a pack member need it, veterinary help can be immediately mobilised. You play a part too – donations help fund these vital projects to protect entire landscapes and endangered species. Learn more about our work: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org
