The Queensland state Government conservation department on mainland Australia have confirmed they are not using Environmental Dna to screen for species including Tasmanian tiger/Thylacine i contacted them this week. This video includes two replies from two departments on this issue from Queensland's state government.https://www.envirodna.com/resources/n...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct0XTZaMXbc

Adrian Pinderadrian.pinder@dbca.wa.gov.au​You​DBCA Enquiries​OFFICIALHi Michael. Thankyou for your enquiry with the department on 10 Jun. DBCA is using eDNA technologies to survey and monitor threatened species in Western Australia, although most projects are in methodological development or pilot study stages at this time. This research is undertaken by our own eDNA laboratory. We do not have a program of broadscale screening for mammals using eDNA, rather our projects are targeted towards listed threatened species in particular locations in WA. The Tasmanian Tiger is not on the list of species we are targeting.Regards,Adrian.Submitted on Tue, 06/10/2025 - 05:40My Tasmanian tiger video... • Michael Moss Tasmanian tiger 1998 footage ... • Nannup tiger? search Western Australia/Mai... https://www.envirodna.com/resources/n...https://shows.acast.com/expedition-un...

Gaffney, Robbie Robbie.Gaffney@nre.tas.gov.au​Panther1966@live.com.au​​CC. Wildlife Services Driessen, Michael​Dear MichaelThankyou for your query regarding eDNA for Tasmanian tiger. Environmental DNA (via the company EnviroDNA) has been used in the past in Tasmania to assess for the presence of chytrid fungus in frogs and the presence of platypus. However, I am not aware of any current projects looking at environmental DNA in Tasmania to survey wildlife for any species. We are aware of the eDNA work that could potentially detect thylacines. If samples are collected in the future for eDNA purposes then it is possible that they may also be screened for thylacines.
