Field Research
Target Species: Jaguars, Bushdogs, and Pumas
NGO: Instituto Bioventura - Felinos da Juréia-Itatins
Sponsor: ARTIS
Location: The Jureia-Itatins Ecological Station (Portuguese: Estação Ecológica da Jureia-Itatins) is an ecological station (ESEC) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It fully protects a well-preserved area of the Atlantic Forest.
Mission: Conservation dog Betty helps identify habitat use by the target species, and to assist in collecting scat and data.
The scat will be examined as they are an important tool for studying population trends, habitat use, and gene flow. This research will contribute to monitoring efforts and help develop conservation policies for these species.

Biosecurity detection dog program.
At the moment, our field instructor is training the biosecurity teams in the Falkland Islands. It’s always good to work together with the handlers and the dogs in action during operational deployments.

Agricultural Detection Dogs
Early detection of diseases, invasive species, and insects is vital, as farmers strive to identify them as early as possible.
Detection dogs can detect these issues at an early stage before they are visible to the naked eye. Agricultural losses due to insects amount to 40 billion USD annually.

Weet je dat speurhonden zelfs kunnen ruiken of een jaguar net in of uit het water is gegaan🐆
Met steun en jaguarpoep van ARTIS wordt speurhond Betty getraind om voor op de boot of kano te zoeken naar jaguars en andere katachtigen.
Net als een kompas geeft ze aan waar ze verse geur van jaguars oppikt 🧭
Aan het eind van de maand gaat Betty naar Zuid-Amerika, om onderzoekers van het Bioventura Institute Conservation of Atlantic Forest Fauna te helpen met volgen en beschermen van jaguars in het wild.
Engels:
Did you know that detection dogs can even smell whether a jaguar has just gone in or out of the water? 🐆 With the support and jaguar poop from ARTIS, detection dog Betty is being trained to search for jaguars and other felines from a boat or canoe. Like a compass, she indicates where she picks up the fresh scent of jaguars 🧭
At the end of the month, Betty will go to South America to help researchers from the Instituto Bioventura - Felinos da Juréia-Itatins track and protect jaguars in the wild.

That beautiful sound that a pangolin makes when they are walking. It was a wonderful experience to see a pangolin in the wild. And to search for them with k9 Thor from Manyonia Anti-Poaching and K9 unit.

Mobile checkpoints.
Small and large boats are used for smuggling wildlife products.
The advantage of using sniffer dogs is that they are very mobile and can be used anywhere.

Jaguar research program.
We are in full training with our conservation dog to help as soon as possible in the field with monitoring and field research in South America to search for the king of the jungle.
The Pantanal Jaguar is the biggest wetland in the world. Amazing animals 😍 It’s important to know how the population is in the wild.

@globalconservationforce Snares, Man Tracking, & K9 Tracking ( from or last training together ). Teaching the group how to address snare-based poaching and conduct snare removal in a more advanced mannerAs all members are K9 handlers, we incorporated a tracking K9. Using the K9 to follow the spoor while visually confirming as man trackers, the group managed to approach within 15-20 feet of the snares set in the forest. ( This dog was not trained to detect snares .but based on human scent, the handler could tell by the behavioural change) This scenario was indeed designed to be akin to finding a needle in a haystack.@GlobalConservationForce x @ScentimprintConservationDogs training with Indonesian Counter Wildlife Trafficking K9 Handlers.📸Wesley Visscher #snares #tracking #mantracking #snarepatrol #snaresweep #k9 #k9unit #k9handler #antipoaching #counterwildlifetrafficking #beiersebergzweethond #bavarianmountainhoundsofinstagram #trackingdogs #mantrailingdog #scentimprintconservationdogs #sifd #speurhond #antipoachingunit #conservationdog
