Saffire Freycinet is passionate about local conservation and biodiversity.
In partnership with Wildcare, Saffire is a major sponsor of Tasmanian Devil research, funding a wildlife veterinary researcher two days a week to research prevention and cure of the Devil Facial Tumour Disease, protect and manage wild devil populations, care for insurance populations and support breeding programs. To date, over 100 healthy devils have been released around Tasmania and an effective vaccination has been developed.
Visit Saffire’s open-range devil enclosure and encounter these rare and unique creatures in a natural setting led by knowledgeable guides. This enclosure was established as a safezone for healthy, breeding devils in the face of the deadly facial tumour disease, and forms part of the Statewide Save the Devil Program. Guests can experience daily devil feedings at the free-range enclosure, and ‘adopt a devil’ to contribute to Wildcare’s gift fund and support this vital ongoing research to ensure the survival of this iconic Tasmanian marsupial.
