How can we save the Tasmanian devil? One devil at a time!
To save the Tasmanian devil from possible extinction, our number one objective is to secure a population of healthy devils, away from disease, in zoos, wildlife parks and free range enclosures around Australia. We need to look after this population over the next 25-50 years, while continuing the fight to maintain devils in the wild.
We have successfully built a population of around 300 happy, healthy breeding devils. According to the species conservation experts advising us, we need 500 devils.
This will take millions of dollars: it costs around $7,000 to house one devil for one year at a zoo. For the 500 animals we need, this is $3,500,000 per year. With free range enclosures and other styles of captive management, we can bring this cost down. However we need funds to bring these developments to fruition.
You can help by making a tax deductible donation now, equivalent to the cost of housing a Tasmanian devil in our vital insurance population.
$7,000—equivalent to housing one devil for one year.
$584—equivalent to housing one devil for one month.
$135—equivalent to housing one devil for one week.
Read about how these vital funds are making a difference for devils in Save the Tasmanian Devil Program's quarterly newsletter.
