Minyumai Land Holding Aboriginal Corporation
Ngugum (Dingoes)
The Minyumai Ngugum project is a Minyumai IPA partnership with Dingo Culture, Girringun Aboriginal Corporation, Jagun Alliance, Defend The Wild, World Wildlife Fund, University of New South Wales, Taronga Zoo, Byron Shire Council, and Wildbnb Wildlife Habitat.
We monitor Ngugum population movements and impacts on feral animals and threatened species on Minyumai and neighbouring Bundjalung National Park and freehold properties.
We attended the Inaugural First Nations Dingo Forum in Cairns in September 2023, where First Nations groups from across Australia signed the National First Nations Dingo Declaration, which highlights the cultural importance of Dingoes and calls for First Nations involvement in their non-lethal management to better protect our apex predator.
We promote the non-lethal management of dingoes
at a local, State and National level,
and encourage and educate landholders, including collaborating with and sharing the groundbreaking research by Dr Kylie Cairns, UNSW conservation biologist, proving 'wild dogs' are in fact dingoes.
