It's too late to help the Tasmanian Tiger, the correct name for which is the Thylacine. The last known Thylacine died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936. It should not be confused with the Tasmanian devil, which is receiving a lot of help and funding from the government, scientists and conservation groups.

What can you do to help the Tasmanian tigers?

Nothing now. Tasmanian tigers are extinct. The last known specimen of the Tasmanian Tiger, more correctly known as the Thylacine, died in the Hobart Zoo on 7 September 1936.This animal should not be confused with the Tasmanian devil, which is a different marsupial altogether.

Why isn't anything being done about the Tasmanian devil?

On the contrary: a great deal is being done to try and help the Tasmanian devil. One of the main threats to the Tasmanian devil is the Devil Facial Tumour Disease. 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. In January 2010, a team of international scientists pinpointed the genetic marker that predisposes Tasmanian devils towards this fatal disease. With this knowledge, there is now a better chance of a cure, which would also stop the disease decimating the wild Tasmanian devil population.
