🐾 Would you rather face a lion or a human?
For African wild dogs, the choice is clear! Our 2025 study has revealed a "survival hack" used by endangered African wild dogs. It’s called the Human Shield Effect!
Here’s how it works:
🦁 Lions avoid areas with high human activity ---> 🐕 Wild dogs fear humans too, but they fear lions even more. --->🛡️ So when lions are nearby, wild dogs move closer to human settlements, using people as an accidental “shield” from their biggest predator.
This study shows how human presence is reshaping the “ecology of fear”, sometimes creating refuge spaces for endangered species like African wild dogs.
Read our full study by Abrahms, B., et al. (2025) to discover why, for African wild dogs, the safest place from a lion might be near us.

Coaching Conservation has officially kicked off in the Chobe region, with the African wild dog leading the lessons at Mabele Primary and Kavimba Primary Schools!
It was incredible seeing stakeholders from across the area come together to watch students learn from wildlife.
This is what conservation education looks like when learning feels like play, wildlife becomes the teacher, and young minds are inspired to see nature differently.
Coaching Conservation is implemented by Wild-Link and funded by African Bush Camps Foundation in Chobe.

This Endangered Species Day, we recognise that protecting wildlife requires more than one approach; it takes research, education, and coexistence working together.
Three pillars. One mission. Because protecting endangered species is a connected journey.
