This project will provide new understanding of the role of Australia's only native large mammal predator in sustaining biodiversity and ecological function. This will result in improved management of dingoes as a key part of Australian ecosystems. The project will also test the possibility that relaxation of current controls on dingoes could provide net benefits to beef cattle producers, and thereby improve the viability and sustainability of Australia's cattle-grazing industry.

该项目将为澳大利亚唯一的本土大型哺乳动物捕食者在维持生物多样性和生态功能方面的作用提供新的认识。这将导致澳大利亚野狗作为澳大利亚生态系统的一个重要组成部分的管理得到改善。该项目还将测试放松目前对野狗的控制是否可能为肉牛生产者提供净利益，从而提高澳大利亚养牛业的可行性和可持续性。
