Woods, G. About us Contact us. Sarcophilus harrisii — Tasmanian Devil. In addition, Global Wildlife Conservation, Aussie Ark and WildArk are calling on kids ages 5-to years old around the world to submit digital postcards to any of four of the featured Tasmanian devils released into the wild sanctuary. Kids interested in sending a digital postcard can write to adventurous Lisa, timid Lenny, hangry Skittles, or sassy Jacksen.
Thirty of the most creative postcards will be chosen to be published in an e-book. Learn more here. Tasmanian Devil beauty shot. Tasmanian Devil Lisa, the adventurous one. Releasing Tassie Devils into the wild on mainland Australia.
In , a report by the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment suggested the introduction of devils would have "a negative impact on little penguin and shearwater colonies on Maria Island". Last year, a paper published in the Biological Conservation journal said the devils had "eliminated" a colony of shearwater, a species of sea bird.
Tasmanian devils are classified as an endangered species by the IUCN Red List , which keeps a database on the conservation status of animals. But Dr Woehler said their numbers had recovered in Tasmania and on the Australian mainland, where devils were born for the first time in thousands of years last month. Given this, Dr Woehler said removing the mammals from Maria Island would "not have any adverse consequences for the devil".
A Tasmanian government spokesperson said the programme would "continue to evolve in line with new knowledge in science and emerging priorities". However, the spokesperson said, "Maria Island remains an important part of the broader devil programme to help restore and maintain an enduring and resilient wild devil population in Tasmania. Aussie Ark plans to reintroduce six other "cornerstone species" to the Australian ecosystem in the future: the eastern quoll, brush-tail rock wallaby, rufous bettong, long-nosed potoroo, parma wallaby and southern brown bandicoot.
