Guy Barnett, Minister for Environment and Climate Change
Tasmanians are being encouraged to work together to protect our unique flora and fauna this Threatened Species Day, with a new round of conservation grants now open.
Minister for Environment and Climate Change, Guy Barnett, said Round 3 of the Threatened Species Partnership Grant Program would support practical, on-ground projects delivering lasting benefits for Tasmania's threatened species.
"I am pleased to announce the next round of the Government's significant investment in the Threatened Species Partnership Grant Program today to mark Threatened Species Day," Minister Barnett said.
"Our Government is working to create partnerships and facilitate projects that have a real and lasting impact on the protection of Threatened Species.
"By encouraging new partnerships and activating the participation of a wider range of stakeholders and organisations, we can achieve greater conservation outcomes for Tasmania's threatened species."
Round 3 of the Threatened Species Partnership Grant Program features two funding streams. Grants of up to $150,000 are available for targeted, species-specific action. While grants of up to $250,000 are available for habitat-focused projects that address key threats.
"The Threatened Species Partnership Grant Program is one of four strategic investment streams established under the Tasmanian Government's $8 million Threatened Species Fund," Minister Barnett said.
"Our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future is investing in important projects that conserve our native flora and fauna."
Applications for Round 3 close on Monday, 19 October 2026.
