$1.5 million to protect Queensland’s threatened species

The Queensland Government is investing $1.5 million to protect Queensland’s threatened species, including gliders, koalas and quolls.

Through the Protecting Queensland’s Threatened Species: Applied Research Grants program, grants of up to $150,000 are supporting targeted, on-ground projects to help at-risk species recover.

With more than 1,000 species under threat, 13 projects will deliver hands-on conservation work across the state.

This includes drone surveys to track Great Glider populations, new habitats for the endangered White Seahorse, and targeted programs to protect the Spotted-tail Quoll.
