Abstract
New comprehensive datasets of threats to species, management actions and costs of these actions reveal the total costs of fully recovering all of Australia’s threatened species. At AUD $583 billion per year (25% of Australia’s GDP for 2023), the cost of reversing two centuries of declines showcases the recovery challenge ahead and the value of avoiding further degradation.
