Collection

Always Has Been: Chapter 1

Description

In 1996, Tasmania, Australia, launched a major conservation effort aimed at preserving the endangered Tasmanian devil population, which was threatened by a debilitating facial tumor disease. Scientists and conservationists implemented a captive breeding program to address the wild population's decline. The project emphasized genetic diversity and species health, with a focus on reintroducing strong individuals to their natural habitats. This initiative represented a pivotal move towards sustaining one of Tasmania's iconic species.
