Add observations from your area

Ground-level sightings fill gaps where official data is thin, and build a live picture over time.

Local governmentPriority here

Back mass anti-rabies vaccination

WHO evidence indicates sustained ~70% dog vaccination coverage breaks rabies transmission. Most areas here sit well below that.

OrganisationsPriority here

Support the local ABC (sterilisation) programme

Animal Birth Control humanely stabilises population when coverage is high and sustained; low coverage has little effect.

Volunteers

Register to volunteer or feed

Feeding rotations and rescue transport are the operational backbone; organisations can reach you when they need hands.

Everyone

Know post-bite care and report bites

Prompt wound washing and PEP prevent rabies deaths; bite reporting improves surveillance where it is weakest.

Researchers

Contribute or open a dataset

ABC/vaccination records, census and study data can be normalised into the platform to close the biggest gaps.
