The Tasmanian ecosystem faces irreversible change due to the decline of the apex predator. An insurance population of Tasmanian devils has been established to prevent extinction of the species. Using the latest sequencing technologies the project aims to determine whether the Tasmanian ecosystem can be restored with Tasmanian devils that are more resilient to a changing environment by improving the way that devils are bred and managed in captivity.

塔斯马尼亚生态系统面临着不可逆转的变化，由于顶端捕食者的下降。塔斯马尼亚魔鬼的保险人口已经建立，以防止物种灭绝。利用最新的测序技术，该项目旨在确定塔斯马尼亚生态系统是否可以通过改善饲养和管理袋獾的方式来恢复塔斯马尼亚袋獾，使其对不断变化的环境更具弹性。
