Wild Devil Recovery Projects

The project is comprised of four project elements: 1. North-east devil population assessment: This project will conduct a detailed assessment of the status and condition of the wild devil populations in the north-east of Tasmania. 2. Strategies to rebuild wild populations: This project will investigate strategies to rebuild diseased devil populations, including augmenting long-term diseased populations. 3. Field trials of immunisation viability in devils: This project will involve assessing the performance of devils, immunised to devil facial tumour disease (DFTD), released into a wild population. 4. Wild Devil Management: This project will bring the findings of the other projects together and apply them to a pilot scale demonstration of a Wild Devil Recovery Zone.
