Bilbies were born to be wild.
They’re safe where they are—behind the 2,500-hectare, predator-proof fence at Currawinya. But that’s not where they belong.
The fence was constructed to buy time, and to help build up the number of a precious native species pushed to the brink of extinction. It’s been an incredible success. We have more than 400 bilbies here and we’re reaching a point where breeding rates are slowing because the population is so dense.
This is the moment we’ve been waiting for.
It’s a dream that's been 26 years in the making; to start returning the Greater Bilby to their home beyond the fence. We now need your urgent help to do it, step-by-step and with immense care.
Timing is everything. This project needs to happen during the winter. If we’re not ready to begin moving bilbies into the wild this winter, we risk delaying this historic project for another year. And judging by the ones who have scaled the fence already, these bilbies don’t want to wait that long!
Every great plan requires great preparation. We’ve prepared a list of the crucial ingredients required to make this groundbreaking project a success, which comes to $150,000. Here are some of the ways you can help meet these essential costs:
Please be part of this historic step forward for the bilbies,
and the start of a three-year project to protect and support 150 bilby pioneers in the wild.
All of us who love bilbies have been working towards this moment for years—it would be Queensland’s first release of bilbies into the wild.
Tiny GPS transmitters can be attached to the base of a bilby’s tail, so we can monitor where they are and find them if the signal is interrupted.
If our 150 bilby pioneers can breed and successfully raise their young in the wild, we’ll have proof that they’re doing more than surviving - they’re thriving.
