Threatened species recovery
Back to projects
- Project status Current
The Hills and Fleurieu region is one of South Australia's most biodiverse landscapes, with native bushland, wetlands, waterways and coasts supporting a wide range of species.
But this diversity is under pressure. Habitat loss, fragmentation and other threats including invasive species, altered fire regimes, water extraction and disease are impacting ecosystems. Climate change is compounding these pressures with hotter, drier conditions and more frequent extreme events.
With urgent, coordinated action, threatened species and ecological communities can be restored and better prepared to withstand extreme events such as bushfire, drought and bird flu. Across the region, we are working with landholders, First Nations, community groups, researchers and conservation partners to protect habitat, manage threats and support species recovery. Learn more about the threatened species we are helping to conserve and the projects making a difference on the ground.

Action plan for threatened species and ecological communities
The Hills and Fleurieu Landscape Board has developed an Action Plan for Threatened Species and Ecological Communities to guide where conservation efforts are focused across the region. The plan identifies priority species and ecological communities and helps direct investment, partnerships and action to support their recovery.
