An insurance population
Devils@Cradle is a key breeding site for the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program, which keeps healthy devils in care while the disease affects the wild population. Its work covers breeding, exports to other facilities, releases and re-introductions.
Watching the wild
Since 2006 the sanctuary has run a field monitoring programme, and for more than ten years it has surveyed the Cradle Mountain area with infrared cameras.
Rescue and care
The sanctuary raises orphaned wildlife, mostly in spring, under the state’s wildlife carer programme, and treats wild wombats for mange. Its resident wombat, Pancake, arrived as an orphan in 2017 and could not be released because of medical problems.
