Wilkerr research & conservation
Welcome
Big Desert Dingo Research is dedicated to the long-term research and conservation of Wilkerr, the genetically distinct and geographically isolated dingo population of the Big Desert-Wyperfeld region of north-west Victoria and adjoining Ngarkat Conservation Park in South Australia. Through hands-on field research, long-term monitoring and collaboration with researchers and Traditional Owners, we are building a better understanding of how Wilkerr live, where they roam, the threats they face and what is needed to secure their future.
Purpose
Big Desert Dingo Research is dedicated to the long-term study and conservation of the Wilkerr dingo population.
Our work aims to improve understanding of Wilkerr ecology, behaviour, population status and the threats they face, while supporting their long-term survival in the Big Desert-Wyperfeld region, adjoining Ngarkat Conservation Park and surrounding landscapes.
Through collaboration with researchers, field experts and Traditional Owners, we undertake on-ground monitoring, contribute to scientific research and advocate for evidence-based dingo conservation.
