Can bilbies and cats co-exist?
ith Greater bilbys only found in a portion of its habitat in Australia, it is exciting that populations have been found in the Broome Shire. Bilby scientist Dr Martin Dziminsky and Dr Malcolm LIndsay provided presentations on September 9, 2015 as part of the Science on the Broome Coast series, on the new methods to monitor their populations and the research underway in the Kimberley with ranger groups. Here is a story written about the research on Science Network WA »
This wonderful series is being run by the Roebuck Bay Working Group and Yawuru Land and Sea Unit.
