Meet The Chapungu Pack
Painted Wolf Apparel Proudly Adopts the Chapungu Pack
At Painted Wolf Apparel, our passion for wildlife conservation goes beyond inspiration, it’s a commitment to making a difference. We are proud to announce our official adoption of the Chapungu Pack, a remarkable group of African wild dogs, in support of the African Wildlife Conservation Fund (AWCF).
Our Commitment To Conservation
African wild dogs, also known as painted wolves, are one of the most endangered carnivores in Africa. With fewer than 7,000 remaining in the wild, they face constant threats from habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and disease. By adopting the Chapungu Pack, we are actively contributing to their protection and survival.
Supporting AWCF
The African Wildlife Conservation Fund (AWCF) is a Zimbabwean-registered non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the large carnivore species of southern Africa. Their primary focus is on the endangered African wild dog, ensuring its long-term survival through scientific research, anti-poaching initiatives, habitat protection, and community engagement.
By supporting AWCF, Painted Wolf Apparel helps fund essential conservation efforts, including tracking, monitoring, and safeguarding the Chapungu Pack. A portion of every purchase goes directly toward these initiatives, allowing you to wear your passion while making a real impact.
