New conservation program for threatened species

Victoria’s threatened species will have a better chance to thrive through the Nature Fund, a new state government conservation program.

Environment and Climate Action minister Lily D’Ambrosio announced $10 million from the Nature Fund will be provided to support 16 projects to create great outcomes for Victoria’s most threatened species.

“It has never been a more important time to invest in our state’s future and the future of our environment,” Ms D’Ambrosio said.

“Through initiatives like the Nature Fund, we will have the best chance at improving the outlook for our threatened species.

“A healthy natural environment creates healthy and happy communities for years to come.”

These projects will deliver significant benefits for Victoria’s biodiversity, and they will be supported with a further $23 million co-investment from delivery partners.
