A tiny male Greater Bilby has just emerged from the pouch at Monarto Safari Park, and he’s not just cute — he’s critically important. His father Lukkanu was discovered by Indigenous rangers near Tennant Creek and brings vital new genetics into the national breeding program. This little joey represents a major win for bilby conservation. “He’s a very healthy little bilby,” says Jodi, our Species Coordinator for Greater Bilbies. “And he’s going to be one of our males in the future that continues o

A truly historic moment for both Taronga Western Plains Zoo and Taronga Conservation society as a whole. Greater Bilbies have been extinct in this part of NSW for more than a century and now 10 Greater Bilbies are roaming the large 4km x 5km feral-animal free area in the far north-west corner of the state!

Happy National Bilby Day! Today is a day to recognise a vitally important Australian species, the Greater Bilby. This little marsupial used to be commonly found in the deserts of NSW, but, due to predation by introduced species like cats and foxes, and also habitat degradation, Bilbies have been extinct in NSW for more than 100 years.

A new 'genetic map' breaking down the entire greater bilby, Macrotis lagotis genome will help stave off extinction for remaining wild populations susceptible to inbreeding. Bilbies were once so abundant in Australia that when colonists arrived their presence in the landscape was compared to the prevalence of rabbits in Europe. Today, it is listed as vulnerable at a national level and is extinct in the wild in some areas. | ABC News

Led by Professor Carolyn Hogg, University of Sydney scientists have sequenced the entire genome of Australia's 'Easter bunny' - the bilby. This involved mapping all 3.66 billion DNA base pairs that make up the bilby's 'ladder of life'. This vital gene map will help conservationists in their work to prevent the threatened species going extinct. Thanks to Taronga Conservation Society for hosting this event.

Australia's answer to the Easter bunny, the greater bilby, will be further protected. At risk of extinction from habitat loss and introduced predators, the federal government will spend $5 million on new programs to bring the bilby back from the brink. The plan is to boost bilby numbers from just a few thousand, to millions. More: https://7news.link/3ZFLkrK 7NEWS at 6pm. #Bilby #7NEWS | 7NEWS Sydney

32 greater bilbies just got a new home in one of Australia’s largest protected areas: the Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary. It’s part of an effort to reintroduce bilbies to central Australia, where the vulnerable animal’s population has dramatically dropped to fewer than 10,000 individual animals. The small marsupials are ecosystem engineers, creating healthier soil by burrowing and digging. Some of their biggest threats include feral cats, foxes, and fires, making this predator-free sanctuary an exc

AWC is helping to restore Australia's endangered Greater Bilby. So far, we have reintoruced Bilbies to 5 feral predator-free areas, which now protect 10-15% of the estimated global Bilby population. This translocation program is set to increase the global Bilby population by up to 40% - or around 5,000 Bilbies.
