PAINTED WOLVES: A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

The WS Society and the Trustees of the Painted Wolf Foundation invite you to join us for an evening at the Signet Library, to learn about the incredible painted wolves, made famous in David Attenborough’s BBC series, Dynasties.

Award winning wildlife photographer and author, Nicholas Dyer will discuss his experiences with these remarkable creatures, his acclaimed book and report, and projects the Painted Wolf Foundation is currently supporting to conserve and protect the future of this critically endangered species.

The painted wolf is a unique and remarkable creature, led by alpha females. Yet, for the last 10 years the species has endured an outrageous onslaught which has seen their population decrease to only 6,500, making them Africa’s second most endangered carnivore.

Nick has spent the last seven years following packs of painted wolves on foot, in Mana Pools, Zimbabwe and will showcase a collection of photographs he captured of the packs at the event. Each photograph has a story which brings to life the captivating and mysterious world of the painted wolves and the lives of those around them.

This event is run in aid of the Painted Wolf Foundation (UK charity 1176674).
