Bilby

'Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds…

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs

These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom'

Hope for the Ninu by Jannico Kelk (Australia)

The winner of the impact award shows a ninu, with the wire grass and shrubs behind it providing a frame against the darkness.

The greater bilby has many Aboriginal names, including ninu. It was brought to near extinction through predation by introduced foxes and cats.

We mapped the entire bilby genome—and now we can use poo to save Australia's 'Easter bunny' from extinction

Commonly known as Australia's "Easter bunny" due to its large ears and hopping movement, the greater bilby (Macrotis lagotis) is the last of its kind. Today we published its reference genome—all 3.66 billion pieces of it.

Dig Deep for Bilbies Giving Day is on. Today every donation is matched by their big digger donors. Your support will help give the funds needed to ‘keep the lights on’ and grow the current bilby populations inside and outside the fenced area at Currawinya.
