Threatened Species Strategy

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
