Devil Ranch To Be Established!!!
17-10-2008
Extract from Newsletter:
‘Devil’ Ranch? What’s that got to do with python breeding? John and Marilyn, in addition to their Snake Ranch duties, continue to devote a large portion of their efforts to the various projects of the Australian Reptile Park, where they are based. During the last two years this has involved an enormous amount of effort directed at the establishment of a mainland population of the Tasmanian devil, partnering with other Australian zoos in the Tasmanian-based ‘Save the Tasmanian Devil Program’. In particular, ARP has been committed to the development of ‘Devil Ranch’ - which will see the long-term maintenance of up to 1,000 devils in groups of 4 to 8 individuals maintained in very large enclosures. The Reptile Park is celebrating the recent acquisition of a property for the project, and now faces the challenge of finding the necessary funding required to bring the project to life. For insight into the project, check out: http://www.tassiedevil.com.au/docs/DevilNews_Sep08.pdf and Appeal for ?devil? country - Local News - News - General - Walcha News To contribute to the funding of the development of the vital mainland insurance population, go to FAME - Foundation for Australia's Most Endangered Species Inc. . Sounds like a awesome project! Saving the aussie devils... |

That's great. The devil's need it. I hope everything goes well and they get the funding needed.

to be honest with you i think that it's a nightmare for the situation at the moment. Centralising a population affected by a highly contagious disease, usually a big no no in quarantine.

well the highly contagious facial tumor is the reason the safty net population was established. I just feel centralising the populationg is running to much of a risk in such a dangerous situation
