Tas: Greens nominate Tassie devil for threatened species list
Tasmania's Greens party has nominated the Tasmanian devil for the state and national
threatened species lists.
The moves could result in more funding for research into Devil Facial Tumour Disease,
which has killed about half the wild devil population in the past decade, and has now
been identified in more than 65 per cent of the state.
Tasmanian Greens environment spokesman NICK MCKIM announced the nomination today.
He's urging the state government to join the Greens in nominating the devil for the lists.
