Protect Australia's native dingo: remove it from vermin lists & include it in the National EPBC Act
Sign Now
The petition of the undersigned shows:
That the Australian native species – Canis dingo – also known as Canis lupus dingo – or Canis familiaris dingo - is omitted from listing as a species within the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC Act) 1999 .
The dingo is Australia’s apex mammalian predator and is scientifically shown to be a necessary part of healthy wild eco-systems for the continued wellbeing of biodiversity within systems where herbivorous species find habitat. The dingo performs a similar role in Australia to that of the lion of Africa.
Where populations of dingoes have been extirpated the ecosystems are now in severe danger of collapse due to mesopredator invasions of foxes, cats etc. introduced by European settlers.
Your petitioners ask/request that the Senate:
Include the specific listing of Canis dingo within the full meaning of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, and further that the species be declared as “threatened” within the appropriate section of that Act.
