My Thanks To You All
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for participating
in Save the Bilby Fund's "Face The Challenge" Endangered
Species Crossword Puzzle Competition in 2007. I received feedback
from many teachers and parents stating that your students and
children enjoyed researching to find the answers, and learnt
a little more about the unique species that we share this great
country with.
The competition was a great success thanks to all who participated.
Some of the money which was raised was used to help fund a Polaris
quad bike to assist researchers in their efforts to try to save
the Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat - one of the world's most endangered
species. As the wombats live over a large territory, the bike
will assist researchers to gather information about this rare
species with greater ease. Other funds have gone towards maintaining
our bilby captive breeding programs in Charleville. Thanks also
to the competition's sponsors including Joanne Johnstone from
Planet Press EnviroPrint without whose help, the competition
would never have happened.
Great
News for Schools
For National Bilby Day 2008 (14th September), we will be running
another crossword competition for the older students and a colouring
in competition for the younger ones. Keep an eye out for a bilby
envelope arriving at your school sometime around June. It will
be advertising how your students can win great prizes again this
year.
Easter
2008
Please remember this Easter that Darrell Lea is the only chocolate
manufacturer which gives money to help save bilbies. Other chocolate
manufacturers make chocolate bilbies, but don't care enough to
give something back to save this precious animal.
Be Australian!
