Chapter 5 introduces the first situational case study, human–dingo conflict on K’gari in Queensland, Australia. The chapter describes the context of the conflict and includes the close and symbiotic relationship that locals have historically had with dingoes on the island, including Indigenous Australians. More recently though, the relationship has changed because of several legal shifts implemented across the island, not the least of which was the listing of the island under the World Heritage Convention. This and other legal and policy changes have meant that attempts have been made to separate dingoes from people and maintain the island as a pristine and natural place. This forced separation has had the effect of reinforcing notions of human autonomy from species and the environment, as well as dingo autonomy from human care and affection. The relational vulnerability of both the people involved and the dingoes was not a relevant consideration. As a result, the case study shows the myth of autonomy at multiple levels: first, that dingoes and humans are naturally autonomous and should remain so; and, second, that institutions operate autonomously and without outside undue influence. The chapter concludes with several recommendations for an eco-vulnerability management approach.
