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. National Bilby Day is celebrated each year on the 2nd Sunday of September

The 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.
