In the final episode we follow the teams from UNSW and Taronga tracking the Bilbies in the Wild Deserts site, locating them all following the release and checking that they are in burrows. Some of the Bilbies traversed over 4km in the first night with lots of positive signs of digging and foraging. The Taronga Western Plains Zoo team now turns its attention back to the breeding program in Dubbo with the aim to continue to breed and produce Bilbies suitable for release in sites like Wild Deserts

32 bilbies from Taronga Western Plains Zoo have been released into the wild in Central Australia. The Australian Wildlife Conservancy protects 10 per cent of the remaining Greater Bilby population, which is estimated at fewer than 10,000. Once widespread across arid Australia, the Greater Bilby population crashed following European colonisation and has continued to suffer due to the threat of introduced predators. The Greater Bilby now joins three other threatened and locally extinct native spec

With their long ears, silky fur, and clever burrowing skills, Greater Bilbies are one of Australia’s most unique marsupials. Once found across 70% of the country, today fewer than 10,000 remain in the wild due to habitat loss and predators such as feral cats and foxes. At Monarto Safari Park, Zoos SA has been working to change that story for more than 25 years. Our dedicated breeding program has produced over 200 bilbies, with more than 90 released back into the wild at places like Thistle Islan
