Bilbies released into Qld national park where they were once extinct

Conservationists have released bilbies into a Queensland national park where the species was previously extinct. The reintroduction follows a population boom of the marsupials inside a predator-proof fence.

The initiative marks a significant step for the conservation of the species, though the long-term success of the project depends on whether the newly freed bilbies can survive outside the protected enclosure.
