The Australian Government is investing $200 million to help native wildlife and their habitats recover from the devastating impacts of the 2019-20 bushfires across eastern and southern Australia.

This investment will help secure the future of treasured native animals from the Koala to the Kangaroo Island Dunnart and the Northern Corroboree Frog, as well as unique plants such as the Wollemi Pine, Monga Waratah and Gippsland Bottlebrush.

Whether on the ground, or in vital research and planning, important work across bushfire-affected regions and heritage places will give our precious plants and animals the best chance at survival and long-term recovery.
