WHO WE ARE
Hello,
We are a Team passionately dedicated to ethical Wildlife Conservation.
We are a Team committed to collaboration and co-creation with
like-minded organisations and the Indigenous Community.
​
Projects are led by Jayda Bruce, Wildlife Scientist (BWSc) and qualified Dog Trainer, specialising in Conservation Scent Detection training.
​
We believe Conservation Detection Dogs are pivotal for the tasks at hand for native wildlife management and the eradication/control of introduced predator and feral species. Jayda is currently training young Jarrah, an English Springer Spaniel, for Conservation Detection work. His first learned scent target will be for Feral Cats. By identifying Feral Cat scat and other Feral Cat scents, he will be able to pinpoint population densities to aid in threat abatement procedures (Note: he is not trained to kill Feral Cats)
​
Jarrah will be trained on additional scents. If you have a project, with a specific scent where you believe Jarrah can assist, please contact us. See below the incredible work that Conservation Scent Detection Dogs are capable of.
​
Our other Team member is Sherry Bruce, specialising in Education for Sustainability and Community Engagement. Contact us for your next School event or Community Festival (big or small) .
WHY DETECTION DOGS FOR CONSERVATION
WITH SPECIALISED TRAINING
CANINES ARE PIVOTAL FOR CONSERVATION WORK
Canines have up to 300 million olfactory receptors within their nasal cavity and their capacity for scent detection has been reported to be as much as 10,000–100,000 times that of the average human. This heightened sense gives canines the ability to detect a vast number of scents that are faint or hidden. With the capability to detect a target scent among a multitude of odours in challenging environments ,Canines around the world are proving themselves to be key players in a variety of Conservation Projects.
