2025 will mark the twentieth year of National Bilby Day (which is the second Sunday in September, which is on the 14th in 2025) so here is a look back to 2016 when Kev spoke at the launch of Threatened Species Day with Steven Miles.<\/p>\n

Environment Minister Dr Steven Miles<\/a> today (Wednesday 07 September, 2016) officially launched Threatened Species Day<\/a> by highlighting the important work being done in Queensland to safeguard at-risk species.<\/em><\/p>\n

Speaking in Brisbane\u2019s Queen Street Mall, Dr Miles said the day was \u201cacknowledged right across the country\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNot only does the day raise awareness nationally of the plight of many species, but it also highlights the amazing work people are doing to save them,\u201d Dr Miles said.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity to showcase successful recovery projects underway in Queensland to safeguard a number of threatened species as part of National Threatened Species Week, which runs from September 4 – 11.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSunday is also National Bilby Day<\/a>, and we are working with Save the Bilby Fund to protect these special Queenslanders, by releasing them into their natural habitat at Currawinya National Park in south-western Queensland through the Greater Bilby captive breeding program\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n
