Scat detection dogs for sample collection of large mammals in remote areas in the Brazilian Cerrado, where wild land is being converted to agriculture at a rate unprecedented anywhere else in the world.
2007-08, This was one of the kids favorite projects to work on and they did some great drawings that we sold to raise money for Carly and her scat-sniffing dogs. I can remember reading Carly’s updates about her working dogs in Brazil. The kids really got to know her work and her dogs! “Mason ( one of our scat-sniffing dog ) has been pretty busy since returning home, he already went to Arizona for a project on the Mexican Wolf, and is now preparing to return to Alberta, CA, where he helps our teams study the impacts of oil drilling on wolf, moose, and caribou. In between jobs he got to live with me and enjoy life as a regular pet for awhile. I’m busy at work in the laboratory conducting DNA and hormone assays to try to get as much information as possible out of all the samples Mason helped me collect in Brazil. Check our website for more information. Thank you for your continued support.” Carly
