Dingoes are vital for our ecosystem health!

Dingoes are vital for our ecosystem health because a loss of dingoes has "wide ranging influences on virtually all other species" in our ecosystems and will cause increased desertification, far greater susceptibility to invasive species and wild fires, altered disease dynamics, and a diminished ability to naturally capture and store carbon emissions. There will also be many unforeseen consequences because scientists have only just begun to understand the influences of the dingo in the fabric of nature". Authorities are just not listening to those of us who already know this! Urgent action is needed to protect the dingo, from the unforeseen environmental consequences that will accompany further declines in their numbers. The balance of ecosystems can shift dramatically. Research on dingoes shows that populations of foxes and kangaroos irrupt following the removal of dingoes. Overall, the suppression of dingoes has probably contributed to the endangerment and extinction of small marsupials and rodents over much of our country. Dingoes have a profound impact on the way food chains are structured. They limit the populations of herbivores through predation, which keeps plant life thriving, and help keep other, smaller carnivores at bay through competition.
