Devil Island

It’s a shocking reality, but the Tasmanian Devil is under threat. As an infectious cancer ravages the largest carnivorous marsupials on mainland Tasmania, a group of experts have come up with a daring plan to protect the species.

Since 1996 the devil has fallen prey to a contagious facial cancer that has wiped out 80% of the wild population. Now the Save the Tasmanian Devil team is attempting to create an ‘insurance’ population of disease-free devils on a former penal settlement

Devil Island follows their remarkable journey as these intelligent but pampered devils experience life in the wild for the very first time.
