"This has been an historic event. It's been over 50 years since eastern quolls have roamed this parts of Australia," World Wildlife Fund head of living ecosystems Darren Grover said.

High quollity result.

While we're on the topic of reintroducing locally extinct fauna, some of the organisations who helped make this possible have also suggested a trial reintroduction of Tassie Devils in NSW and Victoria.

Basically the idea is that more poirinnah repopulating means less mega-sized mangy moggies causing massacres on native wildlife on the mainland.

Scientists, conservationists and ecologists are on board, Devil/Aussie Ark are also willing to lend there wild mainland devils for the trial run, they just need the ok from Tassie government as they own the species.

But can we return Quolls to the homes of families nationwide?

I love this idea and It would give us a chance to update our antiquated and soft pet laws, but it could also endanger quolls and other native fauna more so as they could be targeted by the exotic pet trade.

You know what that single defining characteristic of successful species at the moment? It's those that are useful to humans. The only way to save a species is to make it useful to us, and this kills two birdkillers with one stone, because they would replace cats as companion animals which would then allow us to run a proper extermination campaign against the cats, which would allow the native wildlife to recover.
