Threatened Species Recovery Fund Open Round
http://www.nrm.gov.au/national/threatened-species-recovery-fund
Funding amounts between $20,000 and $250,000 are available for grants to eligible groups though this Competitive Round.
The Threatened Species Strategy contains a five year Action Plan that sets out areas where the Australian Government will focus to achieve signi cant, positive results. The four key Action Areas are: Tackling feral cats; Creating safe havens for species most at risk; Improving habitat; and Intervening in emergencies to avert extinctions.
The Action Plan also contains one, three and five year targets by which to measure success. Broadly, the year five targets include: Improving the population trajectories of 20 threatened mammals, 20 threatened birds and 30 threatened plants by 2020 (the Targeted Species); Feral cat targets—including culling two million feral cats, establishing 10 mainland feral-free fenced areas, achieving 12 million hectares of best-practice feral cat management and eradicating feral cats from five islands, by 2020; and Improving recovery practices—to ensure our threatened species are backed by the best systems of governance and accountability to support
their recovery.
