Dig Deep 4 the Bilbies: What a day!<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Thank you for digging deep and shovelling out so much love for the bilbies!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look how much you and our incredible community of bilby lovers helped raised on our Giving Day:<\/p>\n

Initial Goal: $150,000<\/h6>\n
Bonus Goal: $200,000<\/h6>\n
Final Tally: $235,446<\/strong><\/h5>\n

What an incredible result!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saving the bilby is within reach. But we still have a way to go to ensure our bilby doesn\u2019t go down the heartbreaking path to extinction.<\/strong> Hundreds of native Australian species have already been lost forever for our future generations.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let us lose the bilby too.<\/p>\n

We are working with the entire bilby community towards our goal of having 10,000 bilbies across Australia, as an insurance population to last another hundred years (at least!).<\/p>\n

But as the cost of living continues to increase, we\u2019re struggling to cover our bilby saving costs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you dig deep and shovel in your support, you\u2019ll help cover bilby saving costs like these:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bilby feed<\/strong> \u2013 Keep food on the bilby\u2019s plate! Believe it or not, the price of mealworms, kibble and seeds for bilbies has increased by 30% in the last year.<\/p>\n

Insurance <\/strong>\u2013 It may not be glamorous, but it is essential. Insurance costs are up 135% on last year.<\/p>\n

Essential land management and protection from feral threats<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s extremely important to keep our predator exclusion fences strong so our bilbies are safe from harm.<\/p>\n

Utility bills<\/strong> \u2013 We need help just keeping the lights on for my dedicated team members monitoring and protecting bilbies at Currawinya.<\/p>\n

Running costs for our vehicles<\/strong> \u2013 We now have three cars instead of two! And all the running costs are going up! You name it\u2026 fuel prices, insurance, rego and maintenance costs are all soaring.<\/p>\n

Now is the time for bilby lovers like you to shovel out generosity and build a future for our Aussie diggers.<\/p>\n
