In New South Wales, conservation programs like Saving our Species are taking on the ground action to make a difference for threatened plants, animals and ecosystems. Through hard work and dedication, inspiring success stories like those showcased below are enhancing the survival of threatened species.

Halting and reversing the decline of biodiversity and putting nature on a path to recovery is a shared responsibility. It involves collaborating with passionate partners, embracing cutting edge research, and working hand-in-hand with First Nations peoples.

It also means empowering citizen scientists and communities to play an active role in protecting and conserving their local flora and fauna. Together, with hope, perseverance, and strategic action, we can safeguard the threatened species and ecological communities of New South Wales.

With this mission in mind, dive into these 5 stories of survival from the Saving our Species team and our partners. From ground-breaking technology securing the future of an endangered frog, to utilising traditional knowledge to protect a vulnerable micro-bat – these stories remind us that there is always hope. By working today, we can secure the survival of our native plants, animals, and ecosystems for generations to come.
