Specially trained dogs from a West Wales charity are taking their skills overseas in the fight against wildlife crime.

The anti-poaching dogs have been prepared by Dogs4Wildlife to support conservation teams working to protect the critically endangered black rhino.

Their speed, scent work and close partnership with handlers give rangers another tool for tracking activity across difficult terrain. The work shows how expertise developed in West Wales is contributing to conservation far beyond the region.
