The Tasmanian Devil facial tumor disease has decimated the once healthy population of Devils on the island to the point where “devil Islands” and insurance populations have been established to isolate healthy devils and prevent the unthinkable - extinction!
With the Weekend Australian Magazine’s Matt Denholm I recently spent several days shadowing the team at the Save the Devil Program in Taroona and Narantapu NP as they went about their research into the disease. It was inspiring to be around these dedicated professionals in their race against time but it was also sobering and quite sad to think that the Tasmanian Devil’s future really hangs in the balance.
