Increased Funding for Conservation and Youth Projects

New rules boost government funding for conservation projects carried out by youth and environmental organizations. This means more public money will go towards environmental protection, potentially leading to more green jobs and better maintenance of national parks and green spaces. Non-profit organizations will contribute less, making it easier for them to operate.
Key points
The government will cover 90% of conservation project costs, up from 75%.
Youth and conservation corps will only need to contribute 10% of costs, down from 25%.
The change aims to support environmental efforts and engage young people.
