The Myall Lakes Dingo/Dapin Project is privileged to work on Worimi Country, and to do so directly with Worimi people towards a deeper understanding and respect for the dingo and its place on Country. We pay our respects to Indigenous Elders past and present, and celebrate their ongoing connections with dingoes and the wider landscape.
The MLDP team works closely and collaboratively in the field with the Taree Indigenous Development and Enterprise (TIDE) organisation. TIDE Rangers have been actively involved in the field research throughout the project, and coordinate camera-trapping efforts to detect and catalogue new litters of pups each year, the collection of DNA samples for genetic evaluation of dingo diets, and are actively engaged in frequent two-way knowledge exchanges through regular dingo research and management meetings.
The MLDP works respectfully and collaboratively with all who value Worimi Country, and we are committed to incorporating traditional knowledge, values and practices into our research program, and advocating for their inclusion in contemporary dingo management decisions and actions.
