This year's big trip...

1/2/2012

This year I will be finally getting out to the Painted Dog Conservation (PDC) project in Zimbabwe. I have been a patron of this project for a number of years now as it is everything a good conservation project should be. My trip will involve some veterinary work alongside the local vets to try and set up a clinic to care for injured wildlife and also to see the excellent work the charity does with education camps for local children.

Painted dogs are such charismatic creatures with a truly fascinating social system. They have been wiped out across a huge area of their original range and it’s vital we work as hard as we can to preserve the remaining populations.

I will also be representing another of the charities I am a patron of called Wildlife Vets International (WVI), who have secured some rabies vaccine to help protect wildlife and local people from this disease that is commonly found in domesticated dogs. Rabies is a horrendous disease for both animals and people and vaccination programs like these have saved huge numbers of lives.
