Exclusive Animal Naming Opportunity
This is where you can do your part…
Trowunna is a sanctuary for everyone. Trowunna has spent the last forty years creating a harmonious place for animals and people alike. We have achieved this through our work in conservation programs for endangered species, rehabilitation of injured and rescued animals and in our continued effort for better conservation education of the general public.
The cost of caring for Trowunna's animals is no small feat and we would love your help!
This exclusive opportunity is a terrific way to support and help protect our Tasmanian Endangered species. The opportunity is for private individuals or a company/business, a prefect idea for corporate buisnesses or a fantastic gift! Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary offers an exclusive opportunity to name one or more of our resident Tasmanian Devils, Spotted-tail Quolls or Eastern Quolls. . The Sponsorship period can be for one year or generously renewed annually for a lifetime sponsorship. These funds will contribute to the overall care for the animal. The funds your sponsorship provides will go to a range of different expenses including but not limited too, Food, enclosure enrichment, veterinary care and record-keeping. Through your generosity, we will be able to continue our invaluable work with native Tasmanian wildlife.
Sponsoring one of Trowunna’s ambassador animals will not only help all the animals in the sanctuary, but it will also help their counterparts in the wild. Our ambassadors are at the forefront of our interactive tours and allow the public to leave with a much greater connection to our wildlife.
Our Ambassadors send a powerful message about conservation and are integral to our efforts to educate the public about how wonderful Tasmania's wildlife really is!

Tasmanian Devil
All our devils play their own unique role in the nation-wide Captive Breeding Program (CBP). This is also referred to as the ‘Insurance Population’ which is managed by the Zoological and Aquariums Association (ZAA) in collaboration with Tasmanian Governments ‘Save the Tasmanian Devil Program (STTDP). Currently and historically Trowunna is the most successful place for the breeding of Tasmanian Devils, which is vital to ensure the survival and genetic diversity held within Australian Institutions and the future of the species.
Spotted Tail Quoll
Since the 1980s, Trowunna has been committed to maintaining a genetically robust insurance population of spotted-tail quolls in care. The sanctuary has played an active role in conservation through its ongoing involvement with the Tasmanian Quoll Conservation Program and remains dedicated to promoting education to support the long-term survival of the species. Spotted-tail quolls are carnivorous marsupials and play a vital role as top native predators in the ecosystem. They help regulate prey populations, support biodiversity, and serve as indicators of a healthy, functioning environment. Protecting quolls is essential not only for their survival but also for the health of the broader ecosystem they help sustain.
Eastern Quoll
Eastern Quoll sponsorship funds, aid in contributing to the Tasmanian Quoll Conservation Program. It was officially established in 2010 with primary objectives to maintain genetic diversity within the Australian Institutions, support wild populations of Eastern Quolls in Tasmania and support conservation projects that exist for the species nationally. In early February 2025, Trowunna was involved in the release of Eastern Quolls to Tasmanian Midlands. A total of 24 Eastern Quolls, with 9 from the sanctuary, to support conservation by reintroducing them into a suitable, predator-reduced habitat. The initiative, a partnership led by the University of Tasmania, Tasmanian Land Conservancy and WWF – Australia, aims to bolster declining wild populations, provide critical habitat and gather data to inform future reintroduction of this endangered marsupial.
Sanctuary update!
23/9/2025
Exciting News! This year, the sanctuary is buzzing with new life, with plenty of joey arrivals across our Tasmanian devils, spotted-tail quolls, and eastern quolls. Among them are two Tasmanian devil joeys, Mirren and Mosey, who are currently being hand-raised by our dedicated wildlife team to become incredible ambassadors for their species. Each joey has a special role to play in our conservation efforts—and they all need your support!
Trowunna would like to extend a big thank you all of our sponsors that have helped us to reach these significant achievements. Although these may seem like small things, these milestones will have far reach impacts for the continuation of these species in the wild, and we couldn’t have done it without your help!!
