WATERBERG WILD DOG INITIATIVE
Waterberg Wild Dog Initiative
The Waterberg Wild Dog Initiative (WWDI) is a community-driven, non-profit project aiming to conserve the free-roaming African Wild Dog population in the Waterberg Biosphere, Limpopo. WWDI works alongside the community to collect accurate information on the Waterberg Wild Dogs, understand and mitigate human-wildlife conflict, raise awareness, provide education, and leverage the ecotourism potential of the dogs.
WWDI works alongside the Waterberg community and other relevant stakeholders to:
-
monitor the Waterberg Wild Dogs;
-
understand and mitigate human-wildlife conflict;
-
collect accurate data;
-
spread awareness;
-
provide education; and
-
boost the dogs’ ecotourism potential.
By engaging the community with the conservation efforts, WWDI hopes to foster a sense of community ownership and responsibility for the dogs – changing views, increasing tolerances, and creating a sustainably safe environment for the Waterberg Wild Dogs.
