Wild dogs in Ijara and Garissa

Imagine sighting one of the most endangered animals in Kenya in this remote corner of the country. i encountered this rare animals in Ijara ( southern part of Garissa district now given district status). We took this pictures recently while we were taken round a visiting professor from Germany. Wild dogs are critically endangered in the conservation world and are hard to come by.Dear friends I must say thank you for all those who supported us towards getting the computer for the sanctuary. I would like to say thank you to Susan M, Pirjo I, Inaga G, Willam H and Antonio C for their contribution towards this special appeal.

    Wow thanks for the pictures it is really great that you got to see them. My career goal is African Wild Dog conservation and it’s nice to see pictures of them in the wild instead of just a zoo.

    Were you able to buy the computer, or are you still short of money? Thank you for the interesting updates on the Giraffe Sanctuary. Keep up the good work!
