Dogs Prevent Wildlife Poaching

In a remarkable collaboration between Wales and African nations, specially trained dogs are being deployed to combat poaching and protect endangered wildlife. These canine units, trained in Wales, are now operating in various African countries, including South Africa and Kenya, where they assist in tracking poachers and detecting illegal wildlife products. Their efforts have been instrumental in safeguarding species such as rhinos and elephants, whose populations are threatened by illegal hunting. This initiative not only enhances anti-poaching operations but also strengthens international partnerships in conservation, demonstrating how cross-border collaboration can lead to innovative solutions in wildlife protection. ​
