Where the Wild Things Are
On the ground with Working Dogs for Conservation and the Ministry of Environment & Tourism Namibia (MEFT).
In summer 2024, I embedded with Namibia's first ever K-9 anti-poaching unit, following training exercises and eventually a live operation. Consisting of eight handlers selected from Namibian Special Forces and ten dogs, the unit works tirelessly to combat threats to wildlife, namely endangered black rhino populations, from a widespread poaching network.
