Trafficking crackdown pays off in Tanzania

July 11, 2022July 9, 2022 Supertrooper 2 Comments

In Katavi National Park, like other protected areas in Tanzania, wildlife poaching is a serious challenge. This is because the park has no fence, and any person can easily enter and kill animals if he is lucky enough to walk out uncaught.

Australian dingoes are an ‘intermediary’ between wolves and domestic dog breeds

May 3, 2022April 30, 2022 Supertrooper 1 Comment

Klipspringers come under siege by a pack of wild dogs on cliff edge

March 5, 2022February 26, 2022 Supertrooper 1 Comment

The Last Giraffes on Earth

April 13, 2021November 28, 2021 Supertrooper 2 Comments

The giraffe is nearly down. Two men have stretched a thick black rope in front of the animal, to trip her up. The giraffe hits the rope, and the plan seems to be working until she gains a second wind and breaks into a fresh run. Her body sways backward and forward like a rocking […]

For the Amazon’s rarest short-eared dog, deforestation is a very real threat

August 5, 2020August 5, 2020 Supertrooper 2 Comments

It’s a warm May morning in 2015, and beneath a chorus of birds and insects, a small gray-brown dog plops down in front of a camera perched in the Amazon rainforest.

The plight of the “Short-Ear.” A wild dog in trouble

June 25, 2020June 26, 2020 Larry Powell 3 Comments
