Wild dog remote sensing trial

The Wild Dog Remote Sensing Trial was a joint initiative between the GNRBA and Rangelands NRM. The intent of this project was to map all the breakaways in the GNRBA region. It is understood that this breakaway country is an area frequented by wild dogs at particular times of the year.
