New Wildlife Sanctuary Brings Hope for Endangered Tasmanian Devils!

More good news for the Tasmanian Devil and we have YOU to thank!

On November 9, 2017, 20 Tasmanian devils were released into a new semi-wild sanctuary in southeastern Australia. The release marks the grand opening of Aussie Ark, an extension of Devil Ark conservation facility. This new facility will protect 2,000 hectares and provide homes to more than 1,000 endangered Australian mammals. This is extremely important for the survival of Tasmanian Devils, as more than 90% of wild Tasmanian devils have died since 1996 from a contagious cancer.
