Painted Dog Conservation UK is a charity dedicated to  supporting efforts in Africa to protect and increase numbers of Painted Dogs (also known as African Wild Dogs or Lycaon pictus) - an endangered species with viable populations left in just four countries, the last stronghold being Zimbabwe.

We help support the the work of Painted Dog Conservation based on the edge of the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, which is closely involved with the local community and one of the biggest employers in the Hwange area. In particular we support the Children's Bush Camp which provides education on the value of conservation to hundreds of deprived Zimbabwean children every year.
