| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | PARTNER WITH DETECTION DOGS TO FURTHER CONSERVATION INITIATIVES AROUND THE WORLD. WORKING DOGS FOR CONSERVATION FOUNDATION ("WD4C") INTEGRATES SCIENTIFIC-DETECTION DOG TEAMS WITH ESTABLISHED MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION EFFORTS TO ADDRESS INVASIVE SPECIES PROLIFERATION, WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING, HABITAT FRAGMENTATION, HUMAN/WILDLIFE CONFLICT, AND SUPPORT THE PRESERVATION AND RESTORATION OF THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | SINCE ITS INCEPTION, WD4C HAS COLLABORATED WITH MANAGERS, RESEARCHERS, AND CONSERVATIONISTS TO DETECT NEARLY 40 SPECIES IN 18 STATES AND 16 COUNTRIES. MANY OF THESE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN GROUND-BREAKING WITHIN THE REALM OF CONSERVATION BIOLOGY. WD4C PARTICIPATION AND CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE PROPELLED THE DISCIPLINE OF DETECTION DOGS FORWARD: FROM FINDING DIFFICULT AND NOVEL TARGETS LIKE A SUITE OF WIDE RANGING CARNIVORES, ILLEGAL WIRE SNARES, INVASIVE PLANTS AND INSECTS, SUBTERRANEAN ANIMALS, AND EVIDENCE OF INVASIVE FISH IN FRESHWATER STREAMS, TO WD4C'S GROUND-BREAKING WORK USING DOGS TO DETECT ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS IN FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEMS. WD4C ALSO SAVES DOGS. WE RECOGNIZE THAT MANY OF THE TRAITS THAT PREVENT DOGS BEING SUITABLE PETS SUCH AS REMARKABLY HIGH ENERGY AND TOY OBSESSION, CAN SIGNAL SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL TO BE A HIGHLY SKILLED DETECTION DOG. RECENT WD4C ACHIEVEMENTS INCLUDE: --WD4C KEPT UP THE FIGHT AGAINST POACHING AND WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING IN AFRICA THROUGH OUR K9 LAW ENFORCEMENT NETWORK. OUR DOGS AND THEIR HANDLERS SEARCHED 4,800 VEHICLES, APPREHENDED 20 SUSPECTS, AND CONFISCATED 9 FIREARMS, 950 LBS OF BUSHMEAT, 140 SNARES, SPEARS, AND MACHETES, AND 7 CACHES OF AMMUNITION AND WEAPONS. --WD4C HELPED STOP THE SPREAD OF INVASIVE SPECIES. IN THE FALKLAND ISLANDS, WD4C HELPED PROTECT SOME OF THE WORLD'S MOST IMPORTANT SEABIRD COLONIES FORM RATS AND OTHER RODENTS. WE SEARCHED OVER 40 BOATS AND PORT AREAS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, PILOTED A PERMANENT STRATEGY FOR KEEPING RATS FROM EVER BEING REINTRODUCED AGAIN. --WD4C ALSO TRAINED OVER 50 PEOPLE, FROM 12 COUNTRIES, BRINGING OUR TOTALS TO OVER 200 TRAINEES FROM 15 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. IMPORTANTLY, EVERY ONE OF THESE TRAINEES IS NOW PART OF A LARGER PROFESSIONAL NETWORK, WHERE THEY CAN TAP INTO GLOBAL EXPERTS ON THE BEST AVAILABLE INFORMATION ON CANINE HEALTH, HUSBANDRY, BEHAVIORAL ENRICHMENT, TRAINING, OPERATIONAL SAFETY, AND INTELLIGENCE. --WD4C'S DOGS HELPED FIND AND PROTECT HABITAT FOR SOME OF THE WORLD'S MOST ICONIC AND RARE CARNIVORE, INCLUDING JAGUAR, PUMA, CHEETAH, BOBCAT, SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOX, AND NORTH AMERICA'S RAREST MAMMAL, THE BLACK FOOTED FERRET. FROM PROTECTING THEIR HABITATS, TO REDUCING CONFLICT, TO IMPROVING MANAGEMENT AND THE EFFICACY OF REINTRODUCTION EFFORTS, OUR DOGS ARE HELPING CARNIVORES AND OTHER WILDLIFE AROUND THE WORLD. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 11B | A DRAFT COPY OF FORM 990 WAS PROVIDED TO BOARD MEMBERS FOR REVIEW PRIOR TO FILING. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS, AND THE ADMINISTRATOR/PROGRAM COORDINATOR REVIEW THE FORM 990 IN DEPTH PRIOR TO THE FINALIZATION OF THE 990 AND ITS FILING. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 12C | BOARD MEMBERS WITHOUT POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN THE MATTER OF CONCERN DETERMINE WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS IN THAT GIVEN SITUATION. IF SO, THEY INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ALTERNATIVE TRANSACTION WITH A PARTY NOT RESULTING IN A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. ONLY DISINTERESTED MEMBERS VOTE ON APPROVAL OF SUCH ARRANGEMENT. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 15A | BY HIRING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IN 2012, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DISCUSSED SALARY AND BENEFIT OPTIONS, CONSULTED THE 2011 TREC WAGES AND BENEFITS SURVEY OF ENVIRONMENTAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE USA, AND RECORDED THE DECISION IN MEETING MINUTES.
