[edit] unsigned items

The reintroduction of this species at the Arid Recovery Reserve in South Australia has been so successful, that all niches within the reserve appear to have been filled.

And can we get a picture up?

[edit] status

I think the bilby's conservation status should be included in this article as it is in many other articles for other australian marsupials. Wikipedia should play an important role in informing the world about the plight of so many Australian animals in a country that has the means but not the will to modernise it's economy and tend away from unsustainable agriculture in recently deforested tracts of land. Australia is the 224th most densely, or 6th least densely populated country in the world, that it should have so many animals on the path to extinction is atrocious. 220.238.151.140 00:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

You are looking at the wrong article. this article is about the genus. Click on the species article and you'll see the conservation status. - UtherSRG (talk) 01:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
