I CAN'T SLEEP.

I can't sleep.... There are currently no safe places for dingoes and persecution of them continues unabated across the country, including in National Parks! We need to argue for adoption of predator friendly practices which prioritises the protection of dingoes and excludes killing as a method of conservation. (1) Dingoes are vital for ecosystem health and (2) Dingoes have an inherent value and right to assume their place as Apex Predator in the Australian landscapes. They are vital for the health of ecosystems. They maintain a balance of nature by limiting populations of their prey and smaller predators. This predation force cascades through ecosystems to influence processes ranging from grazing, predation, to fire, disease, carbon sequestration, soil chemistry and water. Dingoes regulate the populations of smaller predators and wild herbivores, therefore protecting small animals from over predation and vegitation from over grazing. Research has now demonstrated that by protecting dingoes we have a simple means to effectively restore degraded ecosystems and recover threatened species!
