Help us save the Bilby

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.

Save the Bilby Fund supports the three main aims of the National Recovery Plan for bilbies: 

• to support research into the biology and ecology of the species to identify the reasons for population and distribution decline
• to direct management efforts towards addressing threatening processes
• to re-establish populations, based on the biological knowledge gained through the research.

YouTube Bilbies

The Zoo and Aquarium Association of Australasia has created a fabulous clip to help us promote chocolate bilbies at Easter.    Click here to see how quickly bilbies can multiply with your help!  Spread the word by sharing this with your family and friends!  Remember to buy your chocolate Easter bilbies from Darrell Lea because a percentage of every sale is donated to Save the Bilby Fund to help us with our conservation work.

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.
