2b      Facilitate Indigenous leadership and involvement in the recovery team through the Indigenous sub-committee (or other means), and professional development opportunities in Recovery Team policy and governance. This will ensure extant populations are managed, and maintain a focus on the cultural significance, traditional ecological knowledge and Indigenous land management skills in bilby conservation.  Recovery team and Indigenous land managers and organisations, including Indigenous rangers and Traditional Owners, state and territory government conservation agencies.
2c      Build the knowledge, awareness and passion for bilbies in the younger generation, for example through junior Indigenous ranger activities, that facilitates both intergenerational knowledge transfer and training in management.                                                                                                                                                                                  Indigenous land managers and organisations, including Indigenous rangers and Traditional Owners, state and territory government conservation agencies, relevant NRM organisations.
2d      For each actively managed site, develop a spatially explicit and plain language annual or multi-year action plan tailored to the needs of the land manager based on the recovery plan, suitable for use in the field by land managers.

2e      Based on annual action plan consider including bilby recovery actions in relevant work plans.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Indigenous rangers, Save the Bilby fund, Traditional Owners and Indigenous land managers, relevant NRM organisations.
2f      Provide support for Indigenous rangers to monitor bilbies, for example data collection and management, for example, through the Bilby Blitz Programme.

6.3.3             Supporting Strategy: Recovery governance and communication
Bilby conservation activities are undertaken by individuals, communities and organisations such as Indigenous land managers and organisations (including Indigenous rangers and Traditional Owners, and remote Indigenous communities), pastoralists and other landholders/managers, state and territory government conservation agencies, conservation organisations, researchers, mining industry and other industry organisation. Combined, this represents a significant investment in the conservation of a species.
Governance can help connect and establish a common purpose between partners, learning from each other's experience and efforts, sharing resources and capacity, and coordinating bilby management and research actions that are being, and/or need to be, undertaken. Governance can also assist in establishing systems to communicate between partners and to collate information that can be used for reporting at different scales.
While not specifically identified as an action, it is important that existing traditional ecological knowledge be considered when implementing this strategy (Table 3).
