Africa’s Wild Dogs – A Survival Story is a large-format photographic celebration of one of the continent’s most charismatic and endangered predators.
With only about 6,600 wild dogs left in Africa today, wildlife photographer Jocelin Kagan has made it her mission to bring the extraordinary lives of these often misunderstood and maligned animals into the spotlight. Her remarkable images and personal observations are supported by further insights by an array of scientific experts – their contributions reveal the fascinating behaviour and pack dynamics of these effecient hunters.
Nomadic predators whose territories range thousands of kilometres, wild dogs hunt co-operatively, preying on small herbivores. They are non-confrontational, smart and sociable, and form complex and close family bonds, as this fascinating book reveals. Now restricted to small populations and threatened by human persecution, diseases, habitat fragmentation, climate change and natural predation.
All funds raised from this auction for AWDSF will be donated to those organisations in the field working directly with the dogs.
An aim is to collar several dogs in each pack. One collar costs upwards of R35 000. You bid will go a long way to support this initiative.

What I love most about photographing wildlife is the surprise, it’s what I call, touching’ the moment. This is the moment when all my senses come alive, it’s the moment when the photographer in me disappears and I meet the intelligence on the side of the lens.
For five years I searched for Africa’s second most endangered species to create the collection of portraits and photographs in Africa's Wild Dogs - A Survival Story. The dogs have become my passion, and my mission is to tell the story of what extraordinary predators they are. Together we can celebrate and save Africa’s most adaptive animal.
