The African Wild Dog Conservancy is dedicated to protecting African wild dogs. Too few people know about the plight of one of the world's most or Africa's "painted wolf." This unique pack-living canid, with its large parabolic ears and mottled coat pattern of yellow, white, and black, once ranged widely throughout sub-Saharan Africa in 39 countries. Today wild dogs have all but disappeared in 15, with perhaps no more than 3,000–5,500 remaining. Their dramatic decline is largely due to human persecution and habitat fragmentation. The IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) Canid Specialist Group, and American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) Canid and Hyaenid Taxon Advisory Group (TAG) regard African wild dogs as a high-priority species for wildlife conservation.
