🌅 As the sun rises, we pause to reflect and honor the bravery, sacrifice, and spirit of the ANZACs. Today, we remember those who served and continue to serve, protecting the lands we cherish.
Lest we forget 🕊️

Zero compromise. Utter disrespect for First Nations’ wishes, culture, and wellbeing. Ignores ecological values of dingoes and recent genetic evidence suggesting the northwestern Vic population is at risk. Wow. Slow clap for Vic govt. https://t.co/JCFAVACWBz

Minyumai IPA Rangers visited Wildlife Surrounds and we had the opportunity to hear about how they recently discovered a Ngugum (Bandjalang word for Dingo) pack on Minyumai IPA. Read more about their wonderful project here: https://t.co/4AS84ogmNR

The Inaugural First Nations Dingo Forum saw a Declaration written and signed by representatives from more than 20 First Nations groups calling for protection of the dingo "boss of Country."
History has been made.

New paper from Kumar et al: Ggenomic signatures of bottleneck and founder effects in dingoes. We found evidence of accumulated deleterious mutations & wildlife managers need to consider the genomic consequences of lethal control programs on dingoes https://t.co/OHYcCoa6HU

With the help of Townsville HIke & Explore and Rotary Club of Thuringowa, we did some upgrades to our dingo enclosure on the weekend. We now have a fenced walkthrough path between our two enclosures for educational wildlife tours.

Visiting dingo cubs at the dingo discovery centre is the best reason to visit Melbourne in winter
These cubs are in training before they arrive at their Zoos and Wildlife parks, where they will be education ambassadors for their species.

The Cornford family from Bendigo have escaped a week of Victoria's winter by visiting North Queensland relatives this week. After connecting via LinkedIn, they scheduled a visit to Wildlife Surrounds.

Could this be related to the massive increase in dingo aerial baiting carried out in NSW during 2019-2023?

Removing or suppressing the ONLY large predator in the ecosystem obviously has an impact.

Local landholders gathered for a Siam Weed Awareness BBQ. Burdekin Shire Council and Wildlife Surrounds presented facts about Siam Weed and demonstrated how to identify and control it.

Research suggests that more than half of Australia’s dingoes are genetically pure, not hybrids https://t.co/1ajvvDx8ua @unswbees @CES_UNSW @EERC_UNSW @mikeletnic
