Green Planet Films Continues Free Film Series Aimed at Raising Awareness of Environmental Issues.

Can Easter Chocolates (and 2 blokes) Save an Endangered Species from Extinction?
They did.

"The Bilby Brothers: The Men Who Killed the Easter Bunny" is a charming award-winning film from Australia about an endangered rabbit-eared marsupial called the bilby, and the 'sweet' idea devised by a ranger and a biologist to help raise money for a bilby sanctuary, and single-handedly turned the tables on an almost extinct species. Their 'sweet idea' got the whole country involved. Now chocolate Easter Bilbies outsell Easter Bunnies by 8-1!

Candy company Darrell Lea contributes a percentage of sales to the Save the Bilby Fund, ($185,000AU to date) and the sanctuary has been built thanks to the chocolate eating Australian public and The Bilby Brothers who have spent practically every waking moment of the past decade working to save this little oddball from extinction. Their work is a phenominal example of how one person CAN make a difference.
