Lapalala Wilderness partners

EWT – Predator Workshop and Wild Dogs

Lapalala has worked with EWT on a number of projects and has a historical link with Clive Walker having been instrumental in founding EWT in 1973. An example of this collaboration has been work focused on wild dogs and educating communities in how to deal with these roaming predators. An on going project has been collaring and tracking wild dogs which move through Lapalala from time to time. The first video shows the attachment of the collars and the release on LW while the second shows a follow up when one of the dogs returned to Lapalala a few months later.
