Save the Devils, Save the World

That's really sad. Action needs to be taken right now to stop these creatures becoming extinct.

I had no idea that tumors could be spread like that – I'll be very interested when more research is done on this.

There is a lot to be done if they're going to save these little guys.

I was very privileged recently to compete in a 6 day (650km) adventure race in Tasmania which was raising money to help the Tassie devil, as well as for the Leukemia foundation.

The race is an annual event created by Mark Webber (the Formula One driver), with an incredible bunch of volunteers and staff.

If you want to check out the race and see the work their doing, this is the site.

If you want to donate to the cause, go to this page to see the different foundations who are working to help the Tassie Devil.

By the way, my team was lucky enough to see a baby Tassie devil on the trail while we were mountain biking. A real gift!

Oops.

Here's the link to the various foundations helping the Tassie Devil.

Cheers.

Just to clarify a geographic note in the article – Tasmania is not "south of Australia" but rather "south of mainland Australia." It's an Australian island state.

Thanks for the link Shawn – sounds like you had fun. 🙂 Here's the link to the charity itself that helps the devils:

I urge people to contribute to projects like this – it's really important for the future of our planet. Do you want to be part of the generation that goes down in history as making half of Earth's species of life extinct? Thought not.

I hope they keep us posted on the research and hopefully, means to stop the progress of this before it's too late.

As large a POPULATION OF UNAFFECTED ANIMALS as can be gathered should immediately be set in a quarantined area. If the rest of the unprotected animals die off ,then the tumor's genetic material when disappear with the last wild animal dies. This is kind of a heavy handed way to protect this species, but it sounds like it might be time for drastic measures, so the Tasmanian Devil doesn't become extinct.

I agree with James. Quarantine to save the unaffected. Saving animals is good for the planet, good for humans and I believe is a moral imperative.

Trying to save these animals is "unnatural" in the sense that this could be a case of humans preventing "Natural Selection" from wiping out a species that could not naturally adapt enough to survive. Are we people who are rational and see the world in a "scientific" way, or have we turned our back on science and people like Darwin, in that we are trying to maintain a static and unchanging world – one that matches or "idealized" view of the world?

When we try to keep an "unfit for the conditions" species like the Tasmanian Devil from becoming extinct simply because it is "part of our identity", and when we try to preserve "natural" environments by trying to control "invasive" species, we are not recognizing the fact that environments change and the species that survive the changes, or thrive best under the changed conditions, while not necessarily the "best" or "cuddliest", are the species that the mythical "Mother Nature" has determined would survive.

But then after all that... these things are just "sooooo cuuute!"

Ana...
I read your comment with much interest. So are you suggesting that we abandon building houses and generating electricity so that those of our species that die of exposure can comply with "mother natures" process of natural selection? If so then most likely the rest of her "children" could stop dying in droves from the unimaginable way that we, as a species, impact her "perfect" laboratory for natural selection. I must admit that I have no idea where you are or what you do for a living but I read the total lack of compassion in your comments as vaguely familliar in composition to the justification offered up in my country by greedy industrialists who fume and rail about someone with the audacity to suggest that they not make a profit in one way or other (either thru preservation of wilderness tracts or reduction of pollutants ejected into the atmosphere or water) to preserve some semblance of natures pristine (semi-pristine?) beauty. I hope you bear in mind that by your own presumptive analysis the human being would have been selected for extinction quite some time ago.

Very good taking the time to discuss this unique, Personally i think extremely to fix it together with fancy mastering more about this particular subject matter. In cases where would-be, due to the fact generate skill, can you thinking bringing up-to-date all your blog site that includes extra help and advice? This is useful for me and my peers.

My husband and i ended up being contented Chris could carry out his basic research by way of the ideas he came across from your own blog. It's not at all simplistic just to always be giving away guidelines many others could have been making money from. And now we consider we've got the blog owner to appreciate because of that. All the explanations you've made, the easy blog menu, the friendships you aid to create – it's mostly unbelievable, and it is making our son in addition to us understand this topic is thrilling, which is certainly wonderfully vital. Thanks for the whole thing! https://remeronmirtazapine.com

Thanks for the useful information on credit repair on your web-site. The thing I would offer as advice to people will be to give up a mentality they will buy at this moment and pay back later. As being a society most people tend to repeat this for many factors. This includes family vacations, furniture, plus items we really want to have. However, you must separate a person's wants from the needs. When you're working to fix your credit score you really have to make some trade-offs. For example you possibly can shop online to economize or you can click on second hand suppliers instead of highly-priced department stores to get clothing. https://zyprexaolanzapine.com/#
