Schools can immerse their students in Australia’s unique ecological history through the Australian Dingo Foundation’s sponsorship program. Students can experience a tangible connection with dingoes, a native species present for over 5,000 years, integral to Australia’s diverse ecosystem. Kevin Newman of the foundation says the Toolern Vale team “...provides vital care for more than 50 dingoes, which wouldn’t be possible without sponsorships from schools. Every dollar helps secure the future of this intelligent and misunderstood species.” By sponsoring a dingo like Pumbah (pictured), schools can enrich their curriculum while contributing to dingo conservation, education and research efforts. https://dingofoundation.org
