Pedal for Paws
To start off the year an acknowledgement of a “bush-mad winemaker” and a photographer - Jeremy and Emma Borg - for their work in melding conservation advocacy, wild life art, and eclectic hand crafted wines. So join us to hear the story of “Painted Wolf Wines” and their efforts to raise awareness and funding for African Wild Dogs.
African Wild Dogs are highly endangered with populations declining at an alarming rate throughout southern Africa- they are the most endangered carnivore in Sub Saharan Africa. Their teamwork, persistence, hunting prowess, individual markings and colouring are our inspiration.
Their business philosophy is inspired by the pack culture and strategy of African Wild Dogs also known as Painted Wolves or Painted Dogs.
They have used the sales of their award winning wines to contribute money for wild dog conservation, and the resources of our company to create fund raising and advocacy opportunities. Ongoing donations are made to a number of conservation organisations, and they frequently sponsor events to raise money for conservation.
Their newest venture is Pedals for Paws, a series of fundraising and advocacy cycle rides between major game parks and wild life sanctuaries in Southern Africa.
