DESCRIPTION:The next general meeting of CWC will be: \n   \n JANUARY 10\, 2

 s \n Program by VIANNA VON WEYHAUSEN on “CANINES IN AFRICA” \n  Vianna von
  Weyhausen is the founder and director of Canines for Africa ( http://k94a
 .org/ )\, a non-profit organization that trains and deploys wildlife prote
 ction canine units. Each man-and-dog unit is sourced and trained (anti-poa
 ching\, detection\, apprehension\, research\, patrol\, tracking\, cold-sce
 nt tracking etc.) specifically for the recipient reserve or national park
  where it will operate.   \nOriginally from Zimbabwe\, Vianna has been inv
 olved in conservation most of her life.  A resident of Morocco\, she is cu
 rrently based in Texas\, as a Visiting Scholar at Texas A&M – with whom sh
 e is creating a pioneering genetic research project for jaguar conservatio
 n\, using her K9 protocols. \nCanines for Africa has 12 units operating in
  South Africa\, all in reserves with significant numbers of threatened (wh
 ite) or endangered (black) rhino. They have deployed a further 8 units in
  Mozambique\, Namibia\, Zimbabwe\, and Mali\, and have a tiger-tracking un
 it in India. \nVianna decided to focus her conservation efforts on using c
 anines because these are game changers in the world of anti-poaching.  The
  Southern African Wildlife College states “It takes a field ranger follow
  up from a 3 percent or 5 percent success rate to a 60\, 70 or 80 percent
  success rate\, using line dogs and free-tracking dogs.” The deterrent eff
 ect alone also makes a significant difference to protecting endangered spe
 cies.\nColleyville Center\n5301 Riverwalk Dr.\nColleyville\, TX 76034 Unit
