More support is available for the conservation and protection of native flora and fauna in Tasmania through Round 2 of the Tasmanian Government's Threatened Species Partnership Grant Program.
There is $600,000 available for projects commencing in the 2025-26 financial year, with the applications for the grant program open until Sunday 18 January 2026.
Minister for Environment, Madeleine Ogilvie, said the grant program is one of the four strategic investment streams under the Threatened Species Fund.
"Our Threatened Species Fund supports community partners to deliver positive conservation outcomes across Tasmania, as evidenced by the great work of the successful applicants from Round 1," Minister Ogilvie said.
The successful Round 1 projects include expanding recovery actions for threatened woodland birds on Bruny Island using bio-acoustic detection; saving the endemic Morrisby's gum; protecting the endangered burgundy snail in the face of habitat loss and damage; and restoration actions for other highly threatened plants such as Miena cider gum and Southport heath.
Round 2 projects must involve on-ground actions that support the recovery of Tasmanian threatened species – either by protecting, managing or restoring their habitat, or by reducing the impacts of invasive species and disease.
Projects funded will be those that target threatened species or habitats of high conservation priority, deliver clear and tangible conservation benefits, build capacity and/or partnerships and demonstrate value for money.
"We are delivering for Tasmania by investing in important projects that conserve our native flora and fauna," Minister Ogilvie said.
