Yes.
The "Save the Tasmanian Devil" programme states that its objective is to 'maintain an enduring and ecologically functional population of Tasmanian Devils in the wild in Tasmania'. This programme is a joint initiative between the Australian Federal and Tasmanian State governments, together with the University of Tasmania.
More sponsorship has come through the car company Suzuki Australia which has developed a is partnership with Zoos Victoria. Suzuki donates an amount from the sale of each Suzuki SUV to help save the Tasmanian Devil.

What else can I help you with?
Are there any female Tasmanian Devils?
Of course. If there were no female Tasmanian devils, they could not reproduce. Tasmanian devils may be endangered, but they are also a viable species.

Tasmanian devils live on land. They are not water-dwelling creatures of any description.

A baby Tasmanian devil is called a joey. Tasmanian devils are marsupials, and "joey" is the name given to the young of all marsupials.
What do you call a boy Tasmanian Devil?
Male Tasmanian devils do not have any particular name.
Are there any captive breeding programs for the Tasmanian Devil?
Yes, there are many captive breeding programs to help save the Tasmanian devil. Scientists are breeding Tasmanian Devils in captivity to limit the spread of the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD). This disease is a great threat to Tasmanian devils living in the wild, affecting some two-thirds of the population. The Australian Government now has initiatives and programs set up to preserve the species. Tasmanian devils are being housed in captive breeding programmes, which should prevent the extinction of the marsupial, but not necessarily in the wild. There is a nation-wide Captive Breeding Program (CBP) called the 'Insurance Population' which is managed by the Zoological and Aquariums Association (ZAA) in coordination with the Tasmanian Governments 'Save the Tasmanian Devil Program' (STTDP).
Does the Tasmanian devil travel in a herd?
No. Tasmanian devils are solitary animals. They do not travel in groups of any description.

They are only distantly related to the now extinct Tasmanian tigers, or Thylacines.
