Funding for threatened species conservation
The Threatened Species Network (TSN) has a rich history of community-based conservation work. Unfortunately, the government funding that made this program possible is no longer available.
Going forward, WWF-Australia is committed to threatened species work, and is developing conservation programs for flagship species including marine turtles and threatened kangaroos and wallabies, as well as advocating for improved government policies that will benefit a much larger suite of threatened species.
The successful recipients of the most recent round of the Threatened Species Network Community Grant Program have been announced. More than 410 on-ground conservation projects have now been funded over ten rounds of the TSN Community Grants Program, enabling community groups right across Australia to help save threatened species and ecological communities.
WWF congratulates the recipients of Threatened Species Network Community Grants, Round 11Round 11 of the TSN Community Grants Program closed on 30 May and successful applicants were announced on National Threatened Species Day, 7 September 2008.
Successful grant applicants for 2008
Managed by the Threatened Species Network (TSN), the grants program was established to support and inspire communities to conduct on-ground work for the ongoing health of our natural environment, specifically targeting the needs of nationally threatened species and ecological communities.
The TSN Grants will not be offered in 2009. WWF is currently awaiting news from the Australian Government regarding new threatened species funding.
