JOIN NOW!With the exception of humans, dingoes are Australia’s largest land-based predator.
They are arguably our most maligned, misunderstood, and mismanaged native species. (Ritchie et al., 2013).
Evidence however suggests that the iconic Australian canine plays a pivotal role in maintaining healthy ecosystems (B. Smith, 2015), they hold deep spiritual values for first nations peoples (Crowe, 2023) and are loved but tourists (Woolaston, 2019) and Australians alike (Lily M Van Eeden, Crowther, Dickman, & Newsome, 2021).
Despite this, an industry has flourished that focuses on killing dingoes, with support and funding from successive state and federal governments.
Not only are dingoes killed by cruel, indiscriminate and inhumane methods (RSPCA, 2021), it is expensive and more importantly likely to do more harm than good to the farming community it is supposed to assist and also does broader ecological damage (Glen, Dickman, Soule, & Mackey, 2007).

Very few Australians really understand the importance of the dingo to the health of Australia’s ecosystems or the desperate plight they currently face. If you are one of those people that now understand and care enough to do something, please spread the word.
Whilst there are a number of passionate people, all totally committed to seeing dingoes protected, the way social media is set up, it tends to create echo chambers - the same people talking to the same people. Don't underestimate your impact and spread the word far and wide.
Politicians like talking to their local community members (its also part of their job!).
Call or email your local state and federal politicians to let them know that you care about dingoes and you want see dingoes protected.
(Politicians' emails are usually found on their website)
Follow up with a phone call to their office and a request for a meeting.
Then, work on building along-term relationship.
Remember always to be friendly and respectful.
