The Threatened Species Strategy and Action Plans guide Australian Government investment in on-ground action and research for threatened species and ecological communities.
A broad range of Australian Government programs are targeting funding to threatened species and ecological communities’ projects. These programs include the National Landcare Program’s Regional Land Partnerships, Environment Restoration Fund and the $200 million bushfire wildlife and habitat recovery package.
New funding announced in the 2021–22 Budget will continue this support with $18 million under $100 million Oceans Leadership Package to protect the iconic threatened marine species, such as turtles and seabirds, and $29.1 million to protect native species from the threat posed by invasive pest animals and weeds.
