The Initiative includes $2 million to support the work of community groups through the Community Volunteer Action Grants, for small-scale threatened species projects that enable local community groups to undertake direct action.
Applications for this grants program close 4.00pm on Tuesday the 22nd of September 2015.
Applications for the grants are still open. For more information or to apply for the grants, visit
