Bilby Projects

A word about the bilby from the Wildlife Preservation Society of Australia
 
Greater Bilby [nt] (Macrotis lagotis sagitta)
  Have you seen a bilby?
This shy little marsupial has a grey and white silky coat, long sensitive ears and pink pointed nose. With huge rabbit ears and soft grey fur it's easy to see the resemblance to rabbits, but that's where it ends. In earlier times, the guardians of the land knew that the bilby could be found all over Australia, but nowadays they can only be seen in certain remote places.
 
How is the Wildlife Preservation Society helping, and how can you help?
Members of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Australia have been working since the Society’s foundation in May 1909 to preserve and protect Australia’s wildlife in all its forms.

The Wildlife Preservation Society is proposing to support a community driven bilby conservation program in the Northern Territory that will focus on the conservation of wild populations of bilbies. The program will be conducted in an area approximately 350 kilometres north-west of Alice Springs, through the traditional guardians of that country.

We invite you, a visitor to our website, to also help and support these programs with us to “Save the Bilby” by making a donation to the conservation work of the Society. MORE
