24.01.2022 Greenpeace Petition - protect our dingo. Please sign and share widely.

24.01.2022 A fascinating insight into the life of sheep herders in the Ihado in the USA, who are part of a project to coexist with wolves with non-lethal deterrants, such as guardian livestock animals and foxlights. Lessons for Australia on how sheep farmers could coexist with dingoes.

21.01.2022 This one really matters. Please sign

21.01.2022 A group of 24 scientists has sent a submission to the New South Wales, Victorian and Federal Government Environment and Agriculture Ministers asking them to rec...onsider planned aerial baiting programs in 2020 following the catastrophic bushfires. Read the full post and our submission below.

20.01.2022 Thanks to dingoes Austin & Aayla for a beautiful howling tribute this morning #lestweforget #wewillrememberthem

19.01.2022 yes, dingoes roamed all of Victoria just 200 years ago. How alarming that we can find them only in two tiny remaining geographically separated places today.... and still the Victorian government actively seeks to eradicate them with absolutely zero justification other than the words "represent threat".

09.01.2022 Here is a feel good story about Wandi Dingo

07.01.2022 This 2 min film won the Conservation Optimism Film Festival in the UK last night. We need more stories like this of humans learning to coexist with wildlife like dingoes, restoring wildlife corridors and rewilding. The comments about weather killing more cattle than predation by wolves, definitely applies to sheep and dingoes in Australia.... #biodiversityemergency #humanwildlifecoexisting #restoringnativeecosystems #workingdingoessavingwildlife

04.01.2022 We have some exciting dingo ecology news for you in National Science Week. Dingos may be the key to saving endangered Golden Shouldered Parrots, protecting them... from goannas and feral cats. (See a video of a goanna predating on nestlings here: https://youtu.be/G3CzTKnUNsQ) Since getting much of their Country on Cape York back in 2014 the Olkola Traditional Owners have stopped poison baiting and the Dingo, boss totem of Olkola Country, is making a comeback. This is good news for his endangered little mate Alwal, the Golden-shouldered Parrot, another significant Olkola totem. Known as Ootalkarra in Olkola language, dingos are the top predator in the savannah woodlands of Cape York. Their presence has a significant role in keeping other ground-dwelling predators’ numbers in check. Research by Bush Heritage and Olkola, as part of the ‘Bringing Alwal Home’ partnership, has found that two of these predators, the feral cat and goannas, prey on Alwal when they're nesting. Alwal build their nest by digging out a hollow in a termite mound, often only one metre above ground. This provides an easy target for feral cats and goannas. Through motion-sensor cameras, Olkola Rangers and Bush Heritage ecologists have observed dingos around Alwal nests. One dingo in particular seemed to be keeping a close eye on his little mate's nest throughout the whole breeding season. There were no signs of predation or visitation by other predators and the Alwal chicks fledged successfully. How good is that!

02.01.2022 This is a great study paper from third-generation cattle grazier and naturalist Angus Emmott of Noonbah Station. Emmott highlights the benefits of maintaining a stable dingo population, both for his cattle enterprise and the health of his local ecology. He also calls attention to the adverse effects when the dingo is removed from the landscape or has their populations destabilized and fractured through relentless lethal control programs.

02.01.2022 How lucky are we to have the incredible Favel Parrett as part of our team? Favel wrote a wonderful piece for The Australian Women's Weekly on her role as a vol...unteer at the Dingo Discovery Sanctuary and Research Centre, Wandi Dingo, Sooty and the important role that our organisation plays in fighting for the protection of dingoes Australia wide!
