Tasmania’s Wild Treasures explores one of Earth’s last great island sanctuaries, shaped by its Antarctic past, harsh climate, and ancient rainforests. From egg-laying platypuses and echidnas to weedy sea dragons dancing in kelp forests, eastern quolls, pygmy possums, giant freshwater crayfish, and the iconic Tasmanian devil, the series reveals wildlife found nowhere else on the planet.image.
Bioluminescent larvae paint starry skies in underground caves, while petrels and little penguins thrive along rugged coasts under the Southern Lights. Around half the island is protected, yet this fragile paradise still relies on dedicated conservationists whose work safeguards wombats, devils, and many other species against snowstorms, disease, and human impact - an inspiring portrait of a wild world worth fighting for.
