Natural England has opened a new programme under the Species Recovery Programme aimed at supporting the recovery of threatened species in England. The scheme seeks ideas that target the species listed in the Threatened Species Recovery Actions (TSRA) dataset – this includes plant and animal species that require bespoke interventions and actions beyond wider habitat creation and restoration.
Grants ranging from £10,000 to £1.5 million are available for projects that contribute to the recovery of the targeted species.
Eligible applicants include formally constituted organisations or partnerships such as environmental groups, charities, local authorities, academic institutions, landowners, public bodies, non-profit organisations and farmer clusters based in England. Other agencies including National Park Authorities can also apply.
