THIS EASTER, SUPPORT BILBY RESEARCH AT ARID RECOVERY

Two Easter icons, both are burrowing species with big ears, but only one belongs. Donate today to secure a future for bilbies.

Bilbies are a native, endangered species fighting for survival, while rabbits are invasive pests wreaking havoc on Australia’s ecosystems. As climate change drives more frequent and extreme heatwaves, the future of both species hangs in the balance.

Researchers from UNSW, in collaboration with Arid Recovery, are investigating how bilbies and rabbits respond to heatwaves. Their burrowing lifestyles give them some protection, but with heatwaves becoming more intense, we need to know:

• Will bilbies have the home-ground advantage?
• Or will rabbits become even more destructive in a changing climate?

Understanding their future to secure their survival

Protecting bilbies isn’t just about keeping them safe today, it’s about understanding how they’ll survive tomorrow. Your donation supports research to understand how climate change might shape their future, and ensure they’re here for Easters to come.
