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.
