Traditional owners and scientific rangers are working together to save the bilbies in Western Australia.

BirriliburuĀ Indigenous rangers are looking for traces and ways to protect the greater bilby, as well as other threatened and culturally-important species including great desert skinks and night parrots.

Rangers facilitate an important role in sharing cultural practices by combining the Martu way of caring for country and Western ways of undertaking land management.

They perform ecological burns, feral animal and weed control, and the clearing out of waterholes.
