Hi everyone,

We are urgently looking for volunteers for two field trips scheduled
for ~13th-30th of October (NE of Alice Springs) and ~9th-18th November
(lower Cape York). We require only one volunteer for the first trip and 2-3
for the second trip.

The work will involve deploying cameras traps to survey for dingoes, cats
and foxes, as well as conducting kangaroo and vegetation surveys.

This work is part of an ARC-funded project looking at the functional role of
dingoes in maintaining biodiversity through mesopredator suppression.

All food, accommodation and transport is supplied, you just have to get to
Townsville! Please be aware the work will require a good level of fitness,
with some very long days and often very hot and/or humid conditions.
Volunteers will also need a current drivers licence and first aid training
and/or 4wd experience would also be beneficial.

If anyone is interested can you please contact me asap with a brief cv and I
will provide you with further details.

Many thanks,
Euan
