Our work and partners
Threatened species conservation requires ongoing efforts, funding and collaboration with our partners. The Queensland Government’s work to deliver projects that conserve threatened species and mitigate threats is guided by research, monitoring and evaluation.
Assessing threatened species
A threatened species is any plant or animal species that has been assessed as being at risk of extinction. They are assigned to different wildlife classes depending on the degree of risk, based on scientific data. Search the Threatened Species Listing Report for information on all threatened species in Queensland.
How you can help
There are many opportunities to support the Queensland Government’s Threatened Species Program. Individuals and organisations can help raise awareness of threatened species and contribute to their survival through on-ground action or supporting recovery programs.
Resources
Access databases and resources that provide more information about our threatened species. You can also see some threatened species and learn more about them at one of the Queensland Government's Gateway Visitor Centres.
Recovery in action
Read our case studies to learn more about the actions we’re taking to protect and recover threatened species and their habitats.
Featured species projects
Queensland has over 1000 threatened animal and plant species, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. Learn about some of the priority species the Queensland Government is working to recover and our partnerships to conserve them.
