Saving Native Species – Emergency Actions for Threatened Species

Overview

Saving Native Species – Emergency Actions for Threatened Species provides organisations with up to $600,000 to help deliver the prevention of extinctions of plants and animals. The Saving Native Species Program (the program) will run over four years from 2022-23 to 2025-26. The program delivers the government’s election commitment to boost outcomes for threatened native plants and animals. The program will support the delivery of the Threatened Species Action Plan (2022-2032) (the Action Plan) towards zero extinctions. The Action Plan maps a pathway to recovery for Australia’s threatened species, spanning terrestrial, marine and freshwater environments. It presents a vision to drive practical on-ground efforts and identifies critical action for the recovery of threatened species and ecological communities. This Action Plan has four 10-year objectives that will be met through consecutive five-year targets and actions. The 22 targets under this first five-year plan will help recover threatened species and ecological communities across Australia.
