A little bite of good news
From a NY Times newsletter-y thing that I am unable to link to
Last summer, a pioneer pack of 14 African wild dogs was released back into Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park as part of an ambitious wildlife restoration effort.The alpha female gave birth in late April to 11 pups, and, unusually, more litters in the pack followed. Now there are 50 dogs, and the newest members are thriving.
Researchers see in Gorongosa the chance to track the recovery of a complex ecosystem destroyed by Mozambique’s civil war. One wildlife expert described the park as “wild dog heaven.” This entry was originally posted at https://thnidu.dreamwidth.org/1773889.html.
