How are bilbies being helped?

There are a number of conservation measures in place to try and help the bilby, an endangered species of Australia. Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service has been studying and monitoring a bilby colony in far west Queensland since 1988, whilst scientific research on both the ground and from the air has surveyed south-west Queensland to study habits and numbers of the bilby. The Astrebla Downs National Park, a protected reserve, includes this western Qld colony. Already there have been successful reintroductions of captive-bred individuals into sites located in Western Australia and South Australia. In addition, bilbies are being bred in captivity in Queensland, the Northern Territory, and South Australia. This ensures their protection, and there are plans to reintroduce captive-bred bilbies to their former habitat if necessary, to ensure the bilby's overall survival. Further measures being considered are the removal or increased control of cattle and predators. The Save the Bilby Fund has more information. See the related link. You can also contact an organisation like WIRES and inquire with them. To raise funds for the bilbies cause, Darrel Lea has been selling chocolate bilbies, which have led to a 25 sq km safe haven being erected in Currawinya National Park. On 19 April 2005, 30-40 bilbies were released, and another 6 in February 2006.

Why are Easter Bilbies better than Easter Bunnies?

Easter bilbies have a wider-reaching purpose than Easter bunnies. The sale of Easter bilbies helps to raise awareness of the plight of this endangered native Australian marsupial. Sales also raise funds which are directed towards conservation of the bilby's habitat, and developing captive breeding programmes aimed at releasing more bilbies back into their native habitat.
