As one of only 34 institutions accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) in the United States, where there are roughly 120 painted dogs in human care, every success counts. The most endangered African carnivore after the Ethiopian wolf, there are approximately 6,600 African painted dogs remaining in the wild, most of whom are found in southern and eastern Africa. The Zoo is proudly helping painted dog conservation efforts on the ground by supporting organizations in Botswana, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. In Botswana, the Zoo supports the Botswana Predator Conservation Trust, an organization addressing a variety of conservation issues affecting African painted dogs.
