SAVE THE BILBY FUND NATIONAL BILBY DAY FLYER
Help us save the Bilby The Save the Bilby Fund was set up by conservationists Frank Manthey and Peter McRae to raise money to help put a stop to the steady decline of this delightful marsupial. See about us to find out about these dedicated and energetic campaigners and some of their current projects. Bilbies, or rabbit-eared bandicoots, were common in many different habitats throughout Australia until European settlement. Hunting by dingoes, foxes and feral cats has meant that bilby populations now only occur in the isolated arid and semi-arid areas of Western Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland. The Save the Bilby Fund supports the three main aims of the National Recovery Plan for bilbies:
We need your support You can help us save the bilby by contributing to the fund or by buying some of the charming bilby merchandise available through this site. Your support is crucial to the success of the fund, and to the protection of this endangered Australian native.
