Animal rights activists are using National Threatened Species Day today to call for an end to permits to cull Tasmanian forester kangaroos.

Against Animal Cruelty Tasmania believes forester kangaroos are on the brink of becoming a threatened species.

The group's Patty Cosgrove says in recent years the native animal's population in the midlands has declined by up to 60 per cent.

"We are very seriously concerned about the culling by farmers and graziers we think a lot of it is unnecessary," she said.

"Negative farmer attitudes, they're still around, I know some farmers like them but it seems like there are a lot of farmers out there that just reach for the permit and the gun."

A new report on the Tasmanian devil and spotted quoll is also being launched today.

Infra-red cameras in the Upper Florentine forests have recorded quolls and disease-free devils in areas planned for logging.

Ed Hill from Still Wild Still Threatened says it is a farce that the logging industry is exempt from Commonwealth legislation designed to protect threatened species.

"If endangered species habitat continues to be logged, it'll be no be no surprise that we will keep losing top order marsupial carnivores like the tasmanian devil," he said.

"While millions are being spent on recovery programs to invest in insurance populations and try to combat the devil facial tumour disease, the issue of habitat loss is being completely ignored."

The Government has been contacted for comment.
