Actions

The Threatened Species Strategy outlines a bold new and action-based approach to protecting and recovering our nation's threatened plants and animals.

This Strategy sets out a road-map and highlights how our approach of science, action and partnership can be used to achieve the long-term goal of reversing species declines and supporting species recovery.

Key action areas that are priorities for the Australian Government are:

• Tackling feral cats
• Safe havens for species most at risk
• Improving habitat
• Emergency intervention to avert extinctions

Targets to measure success are:

• 2 million feral cats culled by 2020
• 20 threatened mammals improving by 2020
• 20 threatened birds improving by 2020
• Protecting Australia’s plants
• Improving recovery guidance
