*[Enwl-eng] Tasmanian Devils are endangered and declining. A new breeding program could change that.

                        Make sure researchers keep rebuilding and growing the Tasmanian Devil population.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        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 petition.
