Saving our Species draft conservation strategies: public consultation

Saving our Species delivers the Biodiversity Conservation Program under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. Our conservation strategies are developed for threatened species, ecological communities and key threatening processes. Conservation strategies are used to inform threatened species management in New South Wales. 

Each strategy details the critical sites or priority areas for the entity, critical threats and the management actions to address those threats. 

Public consultation

There are 34 draft Saving our Species conservation strategies available for public comment. 

The consultation closes on 12 June 2026.

This public consultation period provides an important opportunity for members of the community to have a say in the management of threatened species in New South Wales.
