the Earth Status & Distribution 
Survey

Your help is needed!

DCP is currently compiling information on the distribution and status of the dhole (as recommended by the IUCN Action Plan for Canids). We would be grateful if you could spare the time to fill in our questionnaire below.  Please provide information on any protected areas you are familiar with (or indeed any unprotected areas where you know dholes are found) within the dhole's range. Obviously, it is equally useful if you tell us about any protected areas you know of where the dhole is no longer found, or has never existed.

We are particularly keen to gather information from people with detailed and/or long-term (more than a few weeks) knowledge of protected areas. Your help is much appreciated!
