Resource and Learning Centre

AMRRIC believes in sharing knowledge as a path to developing awareness and understanding of the issues involved in animal management in Indigenous communities. We believe in education for all: we all need to learn from each other to work the best we can.

AMRRIC sees several topics as important for sharing knowledge:

  • Population management
  • Welfare
  • Health, Disease and Zoonoses  
  • Behaviour
  • Impact of dogs on country
  • Dogs in culture

For a list of our main resources, go to our Library.
For information about our training events, go to Workshops.
