Rebirth of the Bilby

The Greater Bilby (Macrotis lagotis) has been greatly affected by European settlement. Originally distributed over 70% of the continent including Western ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales, it is now believed they occupy only 20% of their former range (Southgate 1990). Unfortunately these populations still appear to be declining. The bilby is listed as nationally vulnerable, and was extinct in South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥.
