Dingo 2030 Network

Restoring Australia's apex predator

The Dingo 2030 Network is a bold vision: to see healthy, self-sustaining dingo populations re-established across much of Australia by 2030. As Australia's apex predator, dingoes play a critical role in maintaining ecosystem health — controlling feral animal populations and supporting native species recovery through trophic cascades.

Decades of dingo removal from large parts of Australia has had devastating consequences for native ecosystems. Without dingoes, populations of feral cats and foxes explode, driving native mammals and birds towards extinction. Restoring dingoes is one of the most cost-effective and ecologically sound conservation strategies available.

What we're doing

The Foundation supports research, advocacy and community engagement to advance the case for dingo re-establishment. We work with scientists, landholders and First Nations communities to develop practical pathways for dingo restoration across suitable landscapes.
