A push is underway to better protect dingoes in NSW national parks. This inquiry will grapple with how to balance conservation and farmer concerns.

Following the death of a young backpacker, the Queensland government has killed dingoes seen near her body. But will this cull protect tourists?
New genetic research shows dingoes are not breeding with domestic dogs in the wild. But that could change if lethal control measures continue to decimate populations in Victoria.
We analysed photos of predators and prey from 3,667 camera traps in southwest Victoria. We found feral cats were more abundant and behaved differently in areas where foxes were baited.
There’s been a long-standing debate over whether dingoes started out wild or domesticated. One thing is clear – they had a close relationship with First Peoples.
It’s time to reconsider our relationship with the dingo. By collaborating and drawing from both Indigenous and Western knowledge, we can find ways to live in harmony with our apex land predator.
How did George Stubbs, one of England’s foremost painters of horses and dogs, get Australian animals so wrong?
The merits of the dingo fence are hotly debated, and there have been calls to pull it down. We need a better understanding of how the mega-structure affects species that live along it.
Dingoes are not wild dogs, research reveals. Most of the 307 wild animals sampled in this study were pure dingo. Australia’s apex predator deserves our respect after thousands of years on this land.
When we co-exist with predators, it’s inevitable to have dangerous encounters, especially when they’re habituated to people.
