The Guardian interviews WilCRU researcher about dhole conservation

WildCRU researcher, Dr. Jan Kamler, was interviewed by The Guardian for an article about dhole conservation. Jan has been working on conservation projects for dholes in several countries in Asia during the past 6 years, including Bhutan, Laos, and Cambodia. His current project in Cambodia aims to determine the minimum land and prey requirements for dholes, which ultimately will be used to calculate the appropriate reserve size necessary to conserve this endangered species in the long term.
