In reality the dingo is looking up that proverbial creek, attitudes need to change and need to change now!

There’s no argument here that the dingo migrated to Australia from the North, somewhere between the last ice age and fossil remains of 3500 years. In this time of arrival there have been changes in Australia both too the environment and the dingo.

There is even evidence that the dingo’s arrival had an impact on the indigenous communities living in Australia. The dingo helped in hunting, companionship and warming their beds. These people from the North had a better chance of gathering food such as meat with the help of the dingo and became more predominant, spreading across Australia. There is evidence that because of the hunting powers of the dingo-aboriginal partnership and the effects on the herbivores numbers which meant grasses could grow taller, producing more seed for the indigenous communities to grind and make into seed cakes.

One could say the dingo has helped shape Australia into what the first Europeans saw back in the sixteen hundreds when the Dutch first sighted the coast of Australia but after the British colonised they have scarred the landscape in just over two hundreds years, with there European style farming practices.

The dingo faces pressure for its survival on many fronts like from the farmers, governments, conservation groups and the lack of general knowledge of the public of Australia. Right at this very moment there are campaigns in progress to eliminate all dingoes in their area and not just wild dogs. Dingo hybrids are a great concern to us here because dingo hybrids dilute the genetic pool of the pure dingo and with these campaigns eliminating the dingo allows the hybrid, which breeds twice a year, to fill the area and stops the pure dingo coming back.

In reality the dingo needs your help for its survival and to remain part of Australia’s biodiversity.
