Tools for the conservation of African wild dogs: Do we know enough? What more do we need to know?
The African wild dog is one of the world's most endangered large carnivores. Wild dogs represent a challenge for conservation because they live at low densities and range very widely, so that populations require vast areas to remain viable. Sometimes suppressed by competition with larger predators in wildlife areas, wild dogs also fare poorly in human-dominated landscapes: hence they have persisted only where human density is low, disappearing even from many protected areas.
