Historic Release of Tasmanian Devil to Mainland Australia

2020-10-11 10

The devil is in the details, and mainland Australia was missing quite an important detail: Tasmanian Devils! But after nearly 3,000 years, the devils have returned! Aussie Ark, with the support of Global Wildlife Conservation and WildArk, has released 26 Tasmanian Devils to the Barrington Tops in New South Wales on mainland Australia, with the helping hands of Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky. The 400-hectare sanctuary (nearly 1,000 acres) is heavenly for the carnivorous marsupials. It’s fenced and free of invasive predators, which will allow the devils to thrive as native apex predators. The #DevilComeback is the first step in returning 7 cornerstone species back to the wild to bring balance back to Australia’s ecosystem. #RewildAustralia
