Target 18: National conservation planning for threatened species is contemporary, effective and fit-for-purpose. The intended outcome of the grant opportunity is an improvement in the coordination and effectiveness of recovery actions in order to improve the trajectory of priority species. This will be evidenced through improved governance, operating arrangements and reporting.
