Threatened Species Recovery Fund
About the Threatened Species Recovery Fund
In 2016, the Minister for the Environment announced a $5 million Threatened Species Recovery Fund (the Fund) to support communities to actively protect Threatened Species, leverage additional investment, and assist with delivering on the Targets and Action Areas in the Threatened Species Strategy.
The Fund builds on the Government’s commitment to supporting threatened species recovery through the Threatened Species Commissioner, and the implementation of the Threatened Species Strategy and Threatened Species Prospectus. It sits within the National Landcare Programme and delivers tangible benefits for Australia’s Threatened Species, as well as helping to grow community involvement in their recovery.
Threatened Species Recovery Fund
The Open Round of the Fund opened for applications on 5 May 2017 and closed on 15 June 2017 (2pm AEST).
Funding of over $3 million was approved for 19 projects across Australia and announced by the Minister for the Environment and Energy on 7 September 2017.
