On the occasion of World Wildife Day on March 3, Arjun Srivathsa urges you to think of the threat faced by dholes, an endangered species of wild dogs, with a home not too far from Maharashtra.

The dhole is native to central and western India, the North East, and parts of southeast Asia. It’s also known as the Asiatic wild dog, Indian wild dog and whistling dog for its unique way of communication. An endangered species, the dholes are estimated to number 1,500 globally.
