Save the Tasmanian Devil Appeal

Keeping the Tasmanian Devil alive in the wild

The Tasmanian devil is the world's largest surviving marsupial carnivore and is only found in the wild in Australia's island State of Tasmania.

The species has suffered a major population decline and is now listed as Endangered. This decline is due to an infectious cancer known as Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD).

The latest figures show that 80% of Tasmanian devils have been lost from the wild. Listed as an Endangered Species, the Tasmanian devil faces a bleak future unless we can act now to assure the species in the wild.

The Save the Tasmanian Devil Program was established in 2003 as the official, national response to the threat posed by DFTD. The Australian and Tasmanian Governments and the University of Tasmania have established this partnership to protect this keystone species.

Funds are vital to support the immediate research and management activities of the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program.

One Devil: One Appeal

The Save the Tasmanian Devil Appeal is the only official fundraising entity that direct funds in full to this national Program. So, 100% of the funds raised by the Appeal go to the research and management activities that have been prioritised as important to the long-term solution to devil facial tumour disease and the aim to keep Tasmanian devils sustainable in the wild.

The Appeal’s goal in 2010 is to raise more than $1million – we can do it with your help!

You can support the Save the Tasmanian Devil Appeal by making a donation, conducting your own fundraiser or by becoming an Appeal partner in our new Save the Tasmanian Devil partnerships program. All donations over $2 in Australia are tax deductible and GST exempt.
