Khwai Private Reserve

After the recent illness and death of a wild dog close to Khwai Village, we supported an initiative to have all domestic dogs vaccinated to prevent a distemper outbreak. Such an outbreak could wipe out the wild dog population of the area. The vaccination included Adenovirus, Hepatitis, Parvovirus and Parainfluenza. This initiative took place in Khwai Village (as well as other villages in the area including Shorobe, Mamabe and Sankuyo). The project was run by the Maun Animal Welfare Society (MAWS) along with Botswana Predator Conservation (BPC). For more information about this vaccination drive from the BPC see here.
