Natural World & Animals

Yosef Lasarow's inaugural work has been released at an important time for the Australian ecosystem. As the world watched the catastrophic wildfires devastate much of our land in the 2019 - 20 bushfires the importance of our native species hit the forefront of everyone's minds. Never has it been more important or more pertinent to protect our native species and the trophic order of our precious ecosystems. Since the arrival of Europeans to Australia the dingo was seen as a threat to our very livelihoods, rather than the important ecological solution they are. As our only top order land predator they are an important piece of the ecosystem puzzle. This short work by Yosef Lasarow is filled with gorgeous photos from renowned photographers such as Gary Meredith and Michelle J Photography. It covers the history of the dingo, their role in our ecosystem and the often much discussed issues surrounding their existence. Available from the Australian Dingo Foundation Store at just $10, all proceeds from purchasing Dawn of a Dingo Day support the organisation in their goals to protect and conserve Australia's only native Canid species.
