THE NAMIBIA WILD DOG RESEARCH PROJECT!!!
Population and Conflict Assessment of the African wild dog (Lycaon pictus), with a focus on the Greater Mangetti Complex, Kavango Region, north-east Namibia.
The proposed Mangetti Wild Dog Research Project Proposal was submitted to the Ministry of Environment & Tourism (MET) end 2010 - for the necessary permission and is the first collaborative effort between the Namibia Nature Foundation (NNF), N/a’an ku se Foundation and AfriCat.
The selected study site (Mangetti Cattle Ranch and Mangetti National Park) is situated in the Kavango Region along the boundary between commercial farmland and Kavango communal farmland, to the east of the Etosha National Park. The study area includes about 40 farms and covers approximately 200 000 hectares, where wild dog packs are regularly sighted and farmer-predator conflict threatens their long-term survival.
