Lets make the population aware of our beautiful wildlife we have all over the world. It mot only prevents them from becoming extinct, it boosts the tourism industry. This African wilddog is already on the verge of becoming extinct. It is estimated that there are around 6,600 adults living in 39 subpopulations, all threatened by habitat fragmentation, human persecution and outbreaks of disease. The African wild dog has been listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1990.
