Robbins Island off north-west Tasmania plans to build a windfarm that could threaten the disease-free Tasmanian devil population according to federal environment officials. The planned windfarm worried environmental officials about the potential damage it could impose to the Tasmanian Devils and their survival. According to Guardian Australia, the threat this could bring can be serious as there is currently 'no comparable habitat' anywhere that could compensate for the project's impact on the island's unique devil colony.
