Saving our Species reporting

The Saving our Species (SoS) program includes targeted conservation projects that use the latest technologies, survey methods and findings. We regularly monitor the effectiveness of projects so they can be improved and report on the results.

Since the program began in 2013, it has become a world-class threatened species program. It has delivered a 400% increase in species being managed on-ground.

Our annual report cards provide a traffic-light status for all SoS projects and/or sites to reflect how well a project is going against its targets.

We’re also developing 5-year project summary reports to show how SoS species and ecological community projects are tracking over time.

Annual report cards

Annual report cards are produced to share the work we have undertaken and our results.

They pull together all the information we have generated for each threatened species, ecological community or key threatening process project we are working on.

This information includes:

• actions carried out at key management sites, such as surveys or weed control
• project and/or site status traffic lights
• monitoring data and results
• site summaries
• project partners and investment.

This reporting helps us improve the effectiveness of our projects.

Our annual report cards also include the actions and results of the Saving our Species conservation strategies.
