Hey Australia – who are you choosing this Easter? Bilbies ✅ or Bunnies ❌

With folkloric figure rabbits flooding supermarket shelves, we’re reminding Australians who the real MVP of Easter is.

Bunnies:
❌ Impact the regeneration of native plants by overgrazing
❌ Compete with native animals for food and shelter
❌ Spread invasive weeds

Bilbies:
✅ Dig pits that store moisture, creating the perfect environment for seed germination
✅ Turn topsoil, putting nutrients back in the ground
✅ Are endemic to Australia

Sadly, the Bilby has disappeared from 80% of its former range. Learn how we're protecting and bolstering remaining populations: australianwildlife.org/wildlife/bilby
