I’m Chloë Donovan, a veterinary surgeon and animal artist based in South East England. In my role as a veterinarian I have had the privilege of working closely with all kinds of animals across the world. I have had the immense pleasure of seeing wild animals in their natural environment, and learned of their struggles first hand. As well as pledging my life to help animals with my veterinary qualification I also aspire to use my art as a platform to raise awareness of conservation causes and to fundraise. I work in oil paint, which I love for their soft and luminescent qualities that really help me to portray the character and souls of the animals I paint. I want to create a sense of reality so that I can share my experiences with viewers of my artworks, and bring the wild right to your home.
African Wild Dogs have disappeared from much of their former range. Their population is currently estimated at approximately 6,600 adults in 39 subpopulations, of which only 1,400 are mature individuals. Population size is continuing to decline as a result of ongoing habitat fragmentation, conflict with human activities, and infectious disease. Given uncertainty surrounding population estimates, and the species’ tendency to population fluctuations, the largest subpopulations might well number <250 mature individuals, thereby warranting listing as Endangered under criterion C2a(i).
