Our Projects

We are actively working to help preserve our Australian wildlife through our onsite and offsite conservation efforts.

Tasmanian Devils Need Our Help

Tasmanian Devils are under threat from Devil Facial Tumour Disease. See how you can support!

Why Are They Endangered?

Tasmanian Devils are under threat from Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD)—a contagious cancer spread mainly through biting. The tumours prevent feeding and are usually fatal within six months. In some areas, populations dropped by 95%, pushing the species towards extinction.

Save the Tasmanian Devil Program

Launched in 2003, this program created a healthy, disease-free population through careful breeding. In 2012, 15 devils were released onto Maria Island, and within a year, most females were carrying young—a huge success.

Paradise Country’s Role

Since 2019, we’ve proudly supported the program by caring for our own resident devils in a purpose-built, enriching habitat. Learn more about Tasmanian Devils and their story on your next visit.
