"Dogs have been working with people for centuries. Think hunting dogs, herding
dogs, police dogs or search and rescue dogs. But have you heard of conservation
dogs?
Conservation dogs fall mainly into two categories: guardian dogs and sniffer
dogs (also called scent, detection or detector dogs).
Guardian dogs protect vulnerable species from predators, while sniffer dogs
locate targets of interest using their powerful sense of smell.
In the past 15 years, dogs have begun to play a crucial role in conservation
around the world. So let’s take a closer look at them, with a focus on their
work in Australia."
