Australia's Devil Ark
In 2016, Ivy Yin followed Global Wildlife Conservation on a wildlife assessment in Australia's Barrington Tops National Forest. Australia has the worst mammal extinction rate in the world. Even iconic and once abundant species such as the Tasmanian Devil are now on the brink of oblivion. The threats facing the survival of the Tasmanian devil in the wild have much wider implications for the the entire ecosystem. Projects like the Devil Ark and the energetic people behind these missions give wildlife and ecosystems a chance to recover. A big thanks to Natgeo's Tim Faulkner and Global Wildlife Conservation for showing what's possible for an ecosystem if a single species can be saved.
