Save the Tasmanian Devil Appeal

About the appeal

It’s 21 years since we received out first donation to save the Tasmanian Devil. Thanks to our community, we have come a long way since 2003 – but we will have a long way to go.

The Save the Tasmanian Devil Appeal’s primary goal is to raise funds to support the urgent research and conservation needs of the endangered Tasmanian devil.

Coordinated by the University of Tasmania, each year the Appeal delivers grants and scholarships to researchers working towards informing management activities by addressing challenges such as habitat loss, roadkill, and of course the devastating effects of Devil Facial Tumour Diseases (DFTD).

100% of the funds raised by the Appeal go to research and management activities that have been prioritised as important to the long-term solution to devil facial tumour disease.

This includes tracking and trapping devils to monitor wild populations and follow the progression of DFTD across Tasmania.  This is of particular importance now a second form of transmissible cancer, DFT2, has been discovered to be spreading north of the d’Entrecasteaux peninsula south of Hobart.

Public support for this research is critical as it provides research teams with the ability to apply for further grants and ensure every donation received can be leveraged for additional funding.
