Grants to support the long term protection of priority threatened species.

The Saving Native Species (Priority Species) grant opportunity provides organisations with up to $500,000 to improve the trajectories for the 110 identified priority threatened species from the Threatened Species Action Plan (2022-2032).

The Saving Native Species 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 Saving Native Species (Priority Species) grant opportunity is seeking to deliver improved trajectories for the 110 identified priority threatened species from the Threatened Species Action Plan (2022-2032) (the Action Plan).

The grant opportunity will help deliver the objectives of the Action Plan; that the risk of extinction is reduced for all priority species. Recovery actions for many of the 110 priority species will also benefit other threatened species that share their habitat.

The objective of the grant opportunity is to put 110 priority species on track for an improved trajectory (Target 1, Action Plan). For this grant opportunity, improved trajectory is defined as whether the actions reduced the threat to or increased the population of one of the 110 priority species.
