De Greater Bilby populatie in het wild is in de afgelopen jaren in rap tempo afgenomen, onder meer door de aanwezigheid van vossen. Uit de meeste recente telling van Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC), blijkt dat het aantal Bilbies in wildlife sanctuaries in één jaar tijd is verdubbeld. We bespreken dit goede nieuws met Joey Clarke van AWC.
