$100,000 awarded to help save our Aussie species – QLD

24 JULY 2017 – Four volunteer projects in Queensland are tackling the issue of endangered species by protecting the habitats of Aussie fauna, including the Kuranda tree frog, the southern cassowary, white-throated snapping turtle, and Richmond birdwing butterfly.

Ten projects were awarded funding in 2017 to undertake $100,000 in habitat restoration projects across Australia. The funding was made possible via Landcare Australia’s Workplace Giving Program, which worked in partnership with 23 businesses across the country, including Telstra, Qantas, and Konica Minolta.
