"Populations of the Bilby, Australia’s answer to the Easter bunny, continue to
grow, with more than 3,300 individuals protected across a network of six feral
predator-free fenced areas managed by Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC).
In the fourth year of the annual AWC Bilby Census, populations were surveyed at
AWC’s Mount Gibson (WA), Newhaven (NT), Yookamurra (SA) and Scotia (NSW)
Wildlife Sanctuaries as well as Pilliga State Conservation Area and Mallee
Cliffs National Park where AWC works in partnership with NSW National Parks and
Wildlife Service (NPWS).
Since the 2023 census, the Bilby population at Newhaven has dramatically
expanded throughout the fenced safe haven, while in the Pilliga Bilbies have
dispersed from the smaller breeding area into the wider fenced area. At
Yookamurra, Bilby numbers have doubled since the end of the drought in 2020."
