These Animals Went Extinct on
Mainland Australia. A Breeding Program is Successfully
Bringing Them
Back! | | |
Once
upon a time, the iconic Tasmanian Devil lived all over
the mainland area of Australia, roaming the dry forests
and coastal woodlands. Today, though, they are listed as
Extinct on the mainland and are only living on the island of
Tasmania. In fact, their population is
continuing to decrease and they're officially listed as
Endangered.
Luckily, scientists are
working hard to reverse this trend. A breeding program
in mainland Australia is now seeing incredible results,
with 10 babies ("joeys") born in just the first half of
2025 alone!
These marsupials are extremely
important to the ecosystems around them. As
carnivores, they help keep wildlife populations in check
and even protect ecosystems against invasive species!
They even help keep other species healthy and
disease-free by acting as scavengers.
For
generations, farmers feared the Tasmanian Devil's impact
on their livestock and so they persecuted and hunted
the animals nearly until the point of extinction.
Now, humans are continuing to hurt Tasmanian Devils
through habitat destruction and human development
projects, as well as climate change impacting the
environments around them.
It's humans' fault
that these incredible animals nearly died out entirely.
So it's also our responsibility to help their
populations recover and rebound! To do that, we need
the dedication and hard work of researchers at the
Aussie Ark's Barrington Tops sanctuary, who are leading
the largest Tasmanian Devil breeding program in mainland
Australia.
Sign the petition to urge the
Australian government to ensure full support for this
wonderful conservation program!

P.S. Tasmanian
Devils need all the help they can get. Make sure the
Australian government supports the work of this research
team and its breeding program! Sign the

Subject: Tasmanian Devils are endangered and declining. A new
breeding program could change that.
