• Comment: The article African Wild Dog Conservancy was previously proposed for deletion and merged to African wild dog in February 2023. This draft is substantially different, with better sourcing. gobonobo ^{+ c} 02:58, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

The African Wild Dog Conservancy is a registered community-based conservation area in the Otjozondjupa Region of Namibia, covering 3,824 km² (1,476 sq mi), with an approximate population of 4,713. It was established through a governmental declaration in 2005. As one of many communal wildlife conservancies in Namibia, it forms part of the country's conservation programme.^[1][2]

The geographic area is characterised by thornveld savanna and a sandy, rocky landscape that receives 350–400 mm (14–16 in) of annual rainfall. Notable geographical features include holy monument sites at Ozonguti and Okozonduzu, underground water resources near the surface in parts of the Okonodjatu pans, and the Ngunib omuramba. The area is home to a variety of wildlife, including wild dogs, kudu, warthogs, ostriches, gemsbok, eland, cheetahs, leopards, and vultures. Local enterprises include the harvesting of Devil's Claw.^[3][4]
