We are proud to introduce our panel member for the Melbourne screening of Moort: Calling Dingo Back to Country, followed by a special second screening of Landholders for Dingoes Film Wooleen: Utilising Dingoes as a Management Tool, Dr Daniel Hunter.

Daniel is a wildlife biologist with specialist expertise in dingo ecology. He completed his PhD at the University of New South Wales, where he spent four years researching the role of dingoes in Australian forest ecosystems, with fieldwork across the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area and the mid-north coast of NSW. His research has been published in leading journals including Biological Conservation, Mammal Review and Wildlife Research.

Daniel is also a wildlife cinematographer whose work has featured in major international productions including the BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, Apple TV+’s Earth at Night in Colour, and Netflix’s Animal. His time filming dingoes in the wild has resulted in rare behavioural documentation, including the first recorded footage of dingoes hunting kangaroos.

Daniel’s work focuses on increasing public understanding of the ecological importance of dingoes and their role in Australia’s ecosystems. We are very excited to have him join the panel.

Did you know that dingoes are being killed across New South Wales national parks?

These are public conservation spaces that are suppose to be set aside for biodiversity conservation. Instead, dingoes are targeted widely with 1080 poison baiting and are even trapped and shot, with cascading ecological consequences.

This is despite dingoes immense cultural and ecological significance. It’s time they were protected & landholder interests be safeguarded utilising non-lethal measures.

This is a snippet of @danielhunterfilm from our collaborative campaign with @dingoculture & Humane World for Animals.

Did you know that dingoes are being targeted with killing programs across New South Wales national parks? Vast conservation areas are blanketed with 1080 poison baits specifically targeting dingoes.

Ecosystem Biologist and Dingo expert Dr. Daniel Hunter says this is despite the vital ecological role dingoes play as Australia’s largest land predator. Dingoes’ presence helps regulate large herbivore populations, reducing grazing pressure on native vegetation, while also suppressing—and in some circumstances eliminating— introduced species such as foxes, cats, goats, and pigs.

For Ngarigo Cultural Custodian Aunty Gail Neuss, the killing of dingoes on Country represents a deep cultural pain. Like many Cultural Custodians across New South Wales, dingoes are a culturally significant species to her and her family.

Defend the Wild, @dingoculture and Humane World for Animals Australia are working together to secure lasting protections for dingoes in New South Wales’ national parks. And we have already made great strides to get there.

The New South Wales Parliament has launched an inquiry into the management of dingoes in national parks and this is a critical moment in history to take action to protect dingoes.

We have developed guides to help you make a submission to protect dingoes. You can find them at the link in our bio.

Together, we can ensure protections for dingoes. Join us by adding your voice, today.

🚨 A parliamentary inquiry into dingo management in New South Wales National Parks is currently underway. This is an important moment to take action for dingoes, and shape their future management across the state!

🐕 We’ve developed two submission guides with our partner @dingoculture to assist you to take part in this process. The first addresses all the issues explored in the Terms of Reference and the second is specifically for Cultural Custodians who wish to make a submission on the cultural significance of dingoes.

🔗 You can find both at the link in our bio!

The short film “Shiringa”, captures the importance of honoring and preserving traditional knowledge and emphasizes the importance of diverse voices, especially Indigenous and local communities in telling their own stories and reclaiming their cultural heritage.

The Shiringa tree sap, harvested from the tree using traditional tapping methods, is rich in properties that enhance its durability and flexibility. The ways of extracting it are still passed through generations verbally, building connections and inspiring action toward social and environmental justice through the power of storytelling.

🎥💚 Watch “Shiringa” now on the WaterBear.
