first ever national koala census. Our National Environmental Science Program has a major focus on applied science, turning that academic work into real-world activities on the ground that make a difference. We're supporting the black cockatoo in Western Australia, the dunnart on Kangaroo Island, the eastern quoll on Bruny Island and many more through our safe havens network, building feral predator-free areas where we can introduce our threatened species and watch them thrive. Those safe haven projects are on Flinders Island and French Island in Victoria, and we're looking to add more through a competitive grants round that's currently open for application. Our approach, the Morrison government's approach, is that we listen to the experts, we take positive and proactive action on the ground, we make a difference, with our conservation volunteers and with the work that we do in our unique and iconic landscapes across Australia.
