"We are proud to announce the conservation alliance between National Wildlife Humane Society and Chobe Wildlife Rescue in Botswana Africa. We started out working with CWR and Dr. Clay Wilson, concerning assisting in funding for a mass distemper vaccination project of pet and feral domestic dogs in northern Botswana. If an outbreak is not controlled, distemper can easily spread to the area's wildlife. Dog owners sometimes dump their dead pets out in the bush, or the dogs crawl out there to die. Either way, wildlife such as lions, leopards, hyenas, African Painted (Wild) dogs, etc., risk exposure. To prevent this, Dr. Wilson took on the project of vaccinating close to a thousand dogs. That is a major undertaking, and we are proud to assist in any way possible.
As we got to know Dr. Clay, we were very impressed with his skill and determination in rescuing, administering veterinary care, rehabilitating and releasing wildlife. He is also involved in many other projects, such as re-locating conflict predators and anti-poaching efforts. We would also like to add that he is an Honorary Game Warden at Chobe National Park, in Botswana, and works extremely hard in this totally volunteer position. Truly a man who cares deeply about wildlife. His wildlife veterinarian skills are impressive, so we invited Dr. Wilson to join our NWHS Wildlife Advisory Council. We are quite pleased that he accepted. He is a valuable addition to our impressive Advisory Council. http://www.humanewildlife.org/council.html
Chobe Wildlife Rescue currently does not have a US Federal 501(c)3 corporation (it is in process) and needs a US funding conduit, so NWHS conducted a Board of Directors meeting and voted to approve this conservation alliance with Chobe Wildlife Rescue. We will assist CWR in fund handling and in any other avenues in which we can assist. Once CWR obtains their own US Nonprofit status, we will continue to support and promote their fine work in Botswana. CWR is truly worthy of the public's attention and support, and we ask that those who care about wildlife join us in assisting Chobe Wildlife rescue and Dr. Clay Wilson. Like NWHS, and our other Wildlife Allies, Chobe Wildlife Rescue is indeed "Keeping It Real".
