Dingos need our help!
Dingos are endangered. Their endangerment status is "vulnerable" and their population is unknown. Dingos live in Australia and South Eastern Asia. Dingos resemble reddish/brownish dogs, and in captivity, live up to 14 years. Some reasons that dingos are endangered include:
- Interbreeding: dingos breed with dogs and produce hybrids
- Dingos are considered pests by people who keep livestock, and are therefore killed
- Not much is being done to help dingos
Dingos mainly eat small mammals, especially rabbits, kangaroos, wallabies, birds, fruit, rodents, lizards and carrion. The main predators of dingos are humans. So dingos are not dieing out because some other animal is eating them: it's because of us! We need to help dingos!

So now you know about dingoes. I hope this short message inspired you to help. After all, if everyone just in the United States gave one dollar, that would already account for more than 300 billion dollars! Even the smallest contributions can help a lot. Thank you for reading this.
