Devil Ark
Devil Ark
Devil Ark is Australia's largest conservation breeding program for Tasmanian devils, providing a critical lifeline against Devil Facial Tumour Disease.
High in the hills of the Barrington Tops is a critical project working to save an endangered Australian animal. Devil Ark is the largest conservation breeding program for the Tasmanian devil on mainland Australia.
The iconic Tasmanian marsupial is at serious risk of extinction from the highly contagious devil facial tumour disease (DFTD). Our ambitious breeding program might be the key to its survival.
Located at an altitude of 1,350 metres in the Barrington Tops, Devil Ark provides the perfect breeding environment for devils. The Tasmanian-like vegetation and cool, wet and snowy conditions means the devils feel right at home!

Our mission is to save the Tasmanian devil from extinction by creating an insurance population of genetically diverse, healthy devils to mitigate the possible threat of extinction due to Devil Facial Tumour Disease.
This cost-effective and efficient conservation has proven to be successful and could be applied to other threatened species facing extinction.
Our goals are to conserve, contribute and educate and make a difference in biodiversity conservation.
