the Greater Bilby (Macrotis lagotis) is a threatened species, found in Western Australia. Both their range and population size are significantly reduced by threats including feral predators and habitat loss. Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (near Perth, Western Australia) runs a captive breeding program to restock populations and improve genetic diversity.
You can visit Kanyana and see bilbies on the Nocturnal Tour. More information is available at:
I volunteer at Kanyana, and have come to understand just how amazing these marsupials are - check out my video to see why;
