Tasmanian devil population on a tiny Australian island has come at a deadly cost to birdlife.
The devils were placed on the island in the hope they would breed under a plan to protect the mammals from extinction as a deadly facial cancer sweeps the population.The project had helped the population breed, with the 28 devils released over 2012 and 2013 growing to an estimated 100 by 2016."Losing 3,000 pairs of penguins from an island that is a national park that should be a refuge for this species basically is a major blow," group researcher Dr Eric Woehler said.
Of course there’s a consequence for relocating them to a new habitat. People have short memories. Stop introducing species to places they don’t belong previous examples show it’s a disaster! Rabbits, Foxes, Cane Toads, Camels, Donkeys, Feral Pigs, Goats & Cats all cause problems!

Tasmanian Aboriginal group fears cable car will forever damage cultural value of kunanyi-Mt WellingtonAboriginal heritage officers say the cultural value of Hobart's kunanyi-Mount Wellington would be damaged forever if a proposed cable car goes ahead. The absence of any physical evidence cannot be used to deny the cultural values of kunanyi to Aboriginal people 😂 SBS I thought we wiped out the tassie aborigines? Oh please … Tasmania aborigines today would be unrecognisable to those from 300 years ago. Their language has been lost (& and a new simulacrum invented).
