Hey Australia – who are you choosing this Easter? Bilbies ✅ or Bunnies ❌ With folkloric figure rabbits flooding supermarket shelves, we’re reminding Australians who the real MVP of Easter is. Bunnies: ❌ Impact the regeneration of native plants by overgrazing ❌ Compete with native animals for food and shelter ❌ Spread invasive weeds Bilbies: ✅ Dig pits that store moisture, creating the perfect environment for seed germination ✅ Turn topsoil, putting nutrients back in the ground ✅ Are endemic to A

32 bilbies from Taronga Western Plains Zoo have been released into the wild in Central Australia. The Australian Wildlife Conservancy protects 10 per cent of the remaining Greater Bilby population, which is estimated at fewer than 10,000. Once widespread across arid Australia, the Greater Bilby population crashed following European colonisation and has continued to suffer due to the threat of introduced predators. The Greater Bilby now joins three other threatened and locally extinct native spec

20 Years of National Bilby Day! This year marks a milestone for one of Australia’s most beloved marsupials — the Greater Bilby. Since 2005, National Bilby Day has shone a spotlight on this shy, long-eared digger and the fight to save it from extinction. Thanks to the vision of conservationist Frank Manthey OAM, it remains the only official national day dedicated to an Australian native species. And in 2025, we’re celebrating 20 years of bilby pride! Let’s make it the biggest yet — for the bilbie

"Australia’s answer to the Easter Bunny", the iconic and vulnerable native bilby, has received a $5m grant and a new recovery plan from the government to go towards conservation. Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek made the announcement at Taronga Zoo Sydney, surrounded by the adorable marsupials, just in time for Easter. “We would like to see bilbies roaming in the wild again. That means we need to take greater care of the wild populations that still exist," she said. “And it means, very parti

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.
