Captive rearing of orphaned African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) in Namibia: A case study

Abstract: African wild dogs (AWDs; Lycaon pictus) are an endangered canid species facing drastic decline throughout their range due to habitat fragmentation and persecution by humans over livestock depredation, resulting in dens destroyed and adult members of packs and pups often being killed. Breeding of captive AWDs is challenging due to high juvenile mortality, only marginally improved from wild conditions, thus both in situ and ex situ conservation remains critical. As a result of human‐wildlife conflict, between 20… Show more

“…It can be high-profile and high-stakes when focused on charismatic megafauna or species that may harm humans, and involves considerable labor and financial resources (Molina-Loṕez et al, 2017;Englefield et al, 2019;Morgans et al, 2019;Haering et al, 2021). Scenarios prompting rescue-rehab-release vary and are typically reactive, stemming from catastrophic events posing danger to populations or creating unsuitable habitat [e.g., oil spills (Hong et al, 2020), algal blooms (Lefebvre et al, 2016), wildfires (Parrott et al, 2021), drought (Mo et al, 2021)]; and recurring threats that drive defaunation and compromise welfare [e.g., illegal wildlife trade (Moore et al, 2014;Castro Corteś et al, 2022), orphaning, injury, human-wildlife conflict (Marker et al, 2021)], or threats from occupying human-dominated areas [e.g. vehicle collisions, dog attacks (McAlpine et al, 2008;Kwok et al, 2021)].…”
