PDR TOUR
2027 U.S. AWARENESS & FUNDRAISING TOUR is in planning...
Painted Dog Research is planning our next U.S. Awareness Tour featuring Dr. Greg Rasmussen, founder and executive director and members of the PDR team. We will give a customized presentation on PDR's recent accomplishments and future goals for saving endangered painted dogs. This fundraising tour allows PDR to continue its conservation efforts in Zimbabwe, which includes field research, wildlife vehicle collision reduction, university student mentorship, habitat restoration, and environmental education at PDR’s Bush Camp.
If you or your organization would like to host PDR/Dr. Greg during the next tour, the visit could be at a zoo, school, university, library, botanical center, local brew pub, or even a private home. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with PDR/Dr. Greg. Learn more about his team’s extensive work in conserving painted dogs and advancing wide-reaching conservation initiatives that are changing the lives of animals and people for the better.
Please review our Tour Planning Documents to complete the Host Interest Form and learn more about hosting PDR/Dr. Greg during the tour.
