flag Australia’s Saving Native Species program may end in June due to lack of federal funding, risking native wildlife recovery.

flag A major Australian conservation program, the Saving Native Species initiative, faces potential collapse in June due to a lack of federal funding, despite having received $225 million over 3.5 years. flag The program supports critical efforts to combat invasive species like yellow crazy ants, gamba grass, and feral cats across North Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Kangaroo Island. flag Environmental groups warn that even a short funding gap could disrupt operations, jeopardize native wildlife, and undo years of progress. flag While the government reaffirmed support for the program’s goals, no bridging funding was included in the December mid-year budget update, creating uncertainty that threatens staff retention, contractor agreements, and seasonal conservation work.
