Help save our dingoes
I remember the first time I heard Dingoes howling.
Walking through the Big Desert Wilderness Park, soaking in the spectacular Mallee surrounding me. That’s when I heard it.
It sent chills down my spine. A beautiful, haunting sound echoing across the desert.
Dingoes are listed under our state legislation as wildlife threatened with extinction. They should be protected. Instead they’re persecuted across Victoria. But now we have a chance to stop it.
I have a soft spot for these iconic apex predators. They really are an underdog.
There’s an ‘un-protection’ order out on them across most of Victoria. That’s a weaselly way of saying they can be slaughtered.
In March 2024, the ‘un-protection’ order was lifted in the north-west of Victoria. With as few as 40 Dingoes left in that area, they’re now safe from culling.
