DINGOES ARE OUR BEST CHANCE.

Dingoes are our best chance of suppressing feral species that will destroy our country! The management of dingoes is a highly conflicted and frequently emotional issue in rural Australia. There are methods being used that can balance the needs of agricultural production with environmental conservation. Wherever livestock fail to thrive dingoes become a convenient scapegoat for poor management and the harshness of the Australian environment. Dingoes are one of the few threats that pastoralists feel they can fight back against. But scientists are showing just how important dingoes are to the health of Australia’s biodiversity. Dingoes act in the environment as unpaid ‘pest eradicators’ that work around the clock, effectively. Dingoes are very effective at limiting the populations of smaller predators and wild herbivores. By doing so small prey species are able to recover and vegetation condition improves. Humans with poisons, traps and guns have not been able to benefit biodiversity in this way, and are wiping out our only Apex Predator!
