The Importance of Dogs In Conservation

Today on Ranger week, we're featuring one of Peace Parks Foundation’s newest four-legged recruits, Chicago. Chicago was first taken to Limpopo National Park in Mozambique, where she began her training and spent some time getting accustomed to the different scents and sights of the African bush. After impressing the team with her fast-learning capabilities, Chicago is now a wildlife guardian in Zinave National Park, where she forms a part of the quick reaction force. As well as helping to sniff out any illegal activity within Zinave, Chicago's newest role includes protecting the recently translocated white rhinos. Of course, her good behaviour is always rewarded with plenty of cuddles. With the increase in wildlife numbers and recent historic white rhino translocation, Zinave National Park continues to flourish and shine as one of Mozambique’s flagship protected areas. Keeping these animals safe would not be possible without the help of both two- and four-legged rangers, who play a vital role in safeguarding conservation areas like this throughout southern Africa.
