The Saving our Species (SoS) program allocates species to the keep watch management stream if strong quantitative evidence shows the species populations are secure without targeted investment in management.

This document outlines how NSW Government’s SoS program creates conservation strategies for ensuring the survival of keep watch species.

The SoS program provides a framework for prioritising investment in threatened species and ecological communities in New South Wales, based on a cost-benefit approach. 

The aim of the program is to develop targeted strategies for managing threatened plants and animals, ecological communities and key threatening processes using the best available information.
