Challenging public perceptions about dingoes and the established procedures for his or her administration, dingoes are extraordinarily necessary in supporting the ecology of the pure setting, for land administration and for sustaining biodiversity in Australia.
“At the forum, I learned that established dingo populations help reduce the number of introduced pests that are a threat to native wildlife – such as feral cats, wild dogs, and foxes – through hunting and by maintaining a territory which drives out other predator species,” stated Daisy.
“They also protect farm animals from feral dog attacks and help control the overpopulation of kangaroos, which can have negative impacts on the environment due to overgrazing.”
At the conclusion of the discussion board, a nationwide dingo declaration was signed by representatives from greater than 20 First Nations teams in assist of dingo safety.
“The national dingo declaration states that killing dingoes is killing family and demands for an immediate stop to lethal management across Australia,” Daisy defined.
Instead, the declaration advocates to recognise these animals as a culturally vital and guarded native species, and subsequently develop a culturally applicable, evidence-based framework as a substitute for deadly eradication.
“I met so many passionate and inspirational people at the forum who have dedicated their lives to helping threatened native species like the dingo. It was amazing to see experts from different fields and industries working together towards a common goal of stopping lethal dingo control measures,” stated Daisy.
