Prohop, Keith.
The Fraser Island Defence Committee was formed by voluntary conservationists in January 1971 in response to applications for sand mining leases on the island. The name was soon changed to Fraser Island Defence Organization, giving the acronym and motto "FIDO, the watchdog of Fraser Island". The organization ran successful campaigns to stop sand mining and logging on the island, and now focuses on the conservation of the Great Sandy Region as a whole.
