Bilby populations booming at Currawinya
Recent heavy rains and favourable weather conditions have resulted in a booming bilby population at the 2500-hectare enclosure at Currawinya National Park, with numbers estimated to be 3-4 times the initial release group.
Monitoring using remote cameras and trackers attached to the base of the bilbies tail are revealing exciting news – these endangered marsupials are thriving at Currawinya and efforts to save the species in a long-standing partnership with Save the Bilby Fund are delivering early signs of success.
