A threatened population is a group of plants or animals of the same species, occupying a particular area, that is listed in the legislation as likely to become extinct in the near future. This strategy outlines the Saving our Species (SoS) framework and approach to managing threatened populations.
The SoS program is the NSW Government’s management plan for securing threatened species, populations and ecological communities.
The aim of the program is to develop targeted conservation projects for managing threatened species, populations and ecological communities using the best available information.
