In the 1860’s the world’s longest fence was constructed, dividing Australia almost as much as the animal it was trying to eradicate; the Dingo.
Since then, the Dingo has been hunted in horrific numbers and as a result, now faces an uncertain future. Caught on the receiving end of some of the worst treatment a species has ever received in Australia, the crucial role that Dingoes play in our fragile ecosystem has been ignored for too long.
Featuring passionate advocates for Dingo conservation, On The Fence is a provocative mix of scientific analysis, investigative journalism and striking imagery. Tackling themes of habitat destruction, species loss and pollution, On The Fence takes us into the hidden world of Dingoes where we witness the shocking mistreatment of these animals like never before. As we learn of the ecological crimes occurring, we also uncover the shocking truths happening in our own backyard.
On The Fence comes at a time where we are making crucial decisions to ensure the longevity of this country’s delicate ecosystems that currently hang in the balance. With Dingoes being the most effective method of invasive species eradication, these animals may be our last hope. Will we let another apex predator face the same fate as the Thylacine or will we stop history from repeating itself?
