What a wonderful turnout!

Thank you Cassandra Prucha Elise for stepping up and being a voice of reason for the wildlife.

Standing up for dingoes is no easy task when so many are outrageously disconnected to our Australian Wildlife.

We thank Uncle Lionel Currie for sharing his wisdom and we also thank Leeton for sharing dingo facts.

Guy from Gold Coast Dingo Advocates for sharing coexistence strategies.

This local Rainforest Dingo did not just decide to become habituated. It was the community that fed him as they believed he was a stray dog and threw their kindness. They created a situation for this beautiful black Dingo who doesn’t know any better other than what he has been taught.

Community members shared that the same situation happened 10 years ago with a Dingo named Ernie by the community. He was killed because he was too friendly. Was that his fault? No it’s never WILDLIFE’s fault. It is our issue as human beings wanting to connect with nature but this is the wrong way to go about it.

Well done everyone there who attended and participated in going forward and helping the wider community. Feel safe and understand that it is our responsibility to correct the damage we have caused this particular animal and he doesn’t need to be killed because of human error.

Many shared their experiences which are 99% positive.

More workshops are on their way with more education and we thank you community for embracing this situation that we have a chance to turn around and show the rest of Australia that coexistence is possible.

Love to the Dingoes and Community.

Living alongside wildlife comes with responsibilities. Just as we want to protect our domestic animals, we must also understand and respect the wildlife that shares our environment.

So, what can we do differently?

🖤Keep domestic pets safely secured in suitable enclosures, particularly at night.

🖤Never feed, lure or deliberately encourage wild dingoes to approach people or homes.

🖤Give dingoes space and learn how to respond calmly and appropriately if one approaches.

🖤Help visitors and tourists understand that feeding or interacting with wild dingoes can contribute to habituation and put the animals themselves at risk.

🖤Share knowledge rather than fear, and look for practical ways to prevent conflict before it occurs.

When dingoes become habituated to people, the consequences can be devastating. We have seen how these situations can end, and we don’t want to see another local dingo lose its life because we failed to address the human behaviours contributing to the problem.

Coexistence isn’t about choosing dingoes over our community. It’s about helping our community understand how to live responsibly alongside them.

Prevention over punishment.
Education over fear.
Coexistence over conflict.

The future of our local dingoes depends not only on how we respond to them, but on the choices we make as a community.

Let’s learn to live alongside wildlife, not expect wildlife to live by our rules.
