Dynasties, a new series from BBC Earth narrated by Sir David Attenborough, follows five of the world’s most iconic and endangered species, including the Painted Wolves of Mana Pools, which demonstrates the intricate social dynamics of painted wolves and how alpha females play a critical role in the pack’s survival.
Global Conservation is supporting Global Park Defense in Mana Pools World Heritage Park in Zimbabwe to stop illegal elephant and wildlife poaching in the Zambezi Valley working with our partners, Bushlife Conservancy and Zambezi Elephant Trust.
Bushlife Conservancy provided critical logistical and technical leadership for BBC filming over 660 film days to produce this incredible documentary on Painted Wolves of Zimbabwe.
Amazing footage day and night, for the first time, shows the life-and-death struggle for survival of Painted Wolves in the Zambezi Valley and the complex web of interdependency between endangered species in Mana Pools.With just 6,600 wild dogs left in the wild, it is crucial that we make an effort to protect these animals from further attacks. From den site monitoring to aerial surveys to community engagement and innovative research, Bushlife is helping to ensure the future of this incredible species.
Global Conservation began funding Global Park Defense systems at Mana Pools in 2017, including thermal scopes, satellite communications, patrol support, training, and vehicles. As well, we are funding frozen meat rations for rangers and their families to replace the hunting.
Global Conservation is also funding Zambezi Society prosecution and law enforcement work and the Akashinga Rangers, a women-only team working nearby to Mana Pools.
