Six African wild dog pups were killed in a single road collision near Zimbabwe’s Savé Valley Conservancy last month, after a fence that was intended to be built with money from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was left incomplete due to aid cuts.
The loss was described as “heartbreaking” by the African Wildlife Conservation Fund (AWCF) team that found the pups, given their endangered status, with only an estimated 660 breeding packs remaining globally.
