Securing The Future of the Painted Wolf

Exclusive Part of the Pack offer to get our new report on the Painted Wolf

Having bought the book Painted Wolves: A Wild Dog’s Life or by having made a direct donation to the Painted Wolf Foundation, you have played an important part in taking us to a new phase in our journey.

Thanks to your support, we are now on the threshold of starting a programme that we believe will be truly transformational for the entire species. 

The Painted Wolf Foundation (PWF), together with the Wildlife Conservation Network (WCN), is pleased to announce the publication of a comprehensive report on the status of conservation of the painted wolf together with our analysis on what is needed to reverse the downward trajectory of the species, following a year-long consultation with the conservation community.

Securing the Future of the Painted Wolf

• An insight into the current painted wolf conservation landscape
• An analysis of the gaps in, and constraints on, current painted wolf conservation
• A theory of change for the species to recover
• Details on the new Painted Wolf Fund
• A directory of painted wolf conservation organisations in the field across Africa

Key Features

• Species-wide report and analysis
• 28 organisations consulted
• Reports from 12 countries
• 146 pages with over 50 stunning images
• Profits go to the Painted Wolf Foundation

Securing the Future of the Painted Wolf provides a comprehensive insight into the myriad threats facing the species across Africa, and the conservation measures many incredible organisations are taking to mitigate against them.

Our report shows that despite these valiant efforts, painted wolf populations remain under extreme pressure with very few areas showing increasing numbers.

Effective conservation measures have proven to be transformational in certain areas, but a severe lack of funding prevents their wider implementation which reduces the species long-term chances of survival.

However, as our report explains, despite this bleak picture, the outlook is not without hope.

This beautifully designed 146 page report contains over 50 new images taken by Nicholas Dyer and has been printed by Opmeer who did such an excellent job in producing the book. 

Securing the Future of the Painted Wolf is not for general sale and is not currently available as a PDF. However, we want to offer you the opportunity to purchase your own copy of this report for £30 (+p&p). This offer is limited to “Part of the Pack” members only.

Securing the Future of the Painted Wolf is not for general sale and is not currently available as a PDF. However, because you have played your part in supporting the Foundation financially (either by buying the book or a direct donation), we want to offer the report to you at a discounted rate of £25 (+p&p), as opposed to £30 for other Part of the Pack members.

Securing the Future of the Painted Wolf details our analysis and explains our theory of change that we believe could lead to a doubling of painted wolf numbers within the next 30 years.

This would be achieved through three conservation pillars which are:

Protect painted wolves in their current rangelands by expanding the use of well-funded proven conservation techniques,

Recover former territories by investing in the rehabilitation of land with the full engagement of local communities so that painted wolves can recover naturally or be reintroduced,

Collaborate on initiatives that deliver economies of scale, species wide benefits and build on best practice. 

To achieve this will take significant and long-term funding and, together with WCN we aim to launch the Painted Wolf Fund along the lines of WCN’s other highly successful wildlife funds which include the Elephant Crisis Fund and the Lion Recovery Fund.

Thank you for your continued support, your love for the painted wolves and for being “Part of the Pack”. Together we can make a difference; to secure their future and keep their magic alive.
