The Friends of Oolong support the program and are considering breeding the Devil at Oolong. A member of our task force was in Tasmania recently to visit zoos, to familiarise himself with the management of the devil, to discuss the Captive Management Program and to propose the introduction of large fenced island type enclosures in the program on the mainland. The proposal has been well received at the meeting with Dr. Steven Smith, Program Manager, Tasmanian Deil Facial Tumour Disease, DPIW in Hobart.
While plans for the "insurance" population are finalised (over the next 3-6 months), The FOO are applying to the Australian Regional Association of Zoological Parks and Aquaria (ARAZPA) for membership and also seeking grants to support the program with improved infrastructures in about 104.5ha to be added to the sanctuary.
