| This distribution map shows a mosaic of national parks
and reserves in Kenya. African wild dogs are protected in those parks
and reserves in which they are found. Because wild dogs range widely,
however, they often roam outside these protected areas, coming into
conflict with people. Where possible, corridors between parks and
reserves need to be created. Corridors would that serve to buffer
potential human/wild dog conflict and contribute to gene flow. Such
spaces would benefit other endangered/threatened species in the region
as well. |
