*Back the Pack*

18/06/2025

When we found her, she’d been trapped — injured, alone, and still lactating. That meant somewhere out there... she had pups waiting.

Her leg couldn’t be saved. The damage was too severe. But her life could be.

With expert care and quick action, she survived emergency surgery — and is now back in the wild.

But she’s not safe yet. Her healing, her reintegration, and the future of her pack still hang in the balance.

We need your help.

Your donation will fund her monitoring, tracking, and efforts to reduce future conflict — so more dogs and farmers don’t suffer the same fate.

African wild dogs are critically endangered. Fewer than 350 remain in this region.

Every pack matters. Every pup matters.

Please, donate today — and help us give her, and her family, a second chance.

On June 10, the KAWDCP team responded to a call for help from a farmer in eastern Namibia. A young alpha female had been found trapped for nearly 24 hours. She was alone, severely injured, and separated from her pack — while still lactating, confirming she had a den of pups depending on her.

She underwent life-saving surgery to amputate a badly damaged leg and has now been released back into the wild. But her future — and the fate of her pack — still hangs in the balance.

This is not just about one animal. African wild dogs are deeply social. The loss of an alpha can cause a pack to collapse. Her survival gives the pack a chance to stay together — and possibly reunite with her pups, if they’ve survived.

Importantly, this pack had recently been involved in livestock conflict. We recognise that coexistence is not easy. Farmers face real losses, and frustration is understandable. But in this case, a farmer chose compassion — alerting us in time and helping make this rescue possible. Their support has been invaluable.

Now, we urgently need funding to continue this mission and ensure long-term solutions that benefit both wildlife and people.
