Rainfreost Rescue Help us Savet the Daintree Rainforest

Daintree Buy Back and Protect Forever Project

Although surrounded by the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area parts of the Coastal Lowland Tropical Rainforest from the Daintree River to Cape Tribulation stillremain unprotected and endangered.

These rainforests are of international conservation importance as one of the most significant regional ecosystems in the world.

They record the eight major stages of the evolution of land plants and in particular the origin, evolution and dispersal of the flowering plants (angiosperms).

The Daintree rainforests possess one of the greatest concentrations of primitive flowering plants in the world and contain more plant taxa with primitive characteristics than any other tropical forest.

Of the 19 most primitive plant families world wide, 12 are found in the Daintree, a similar number of primitive families to that found in all the rainforest of South America.

Help save the Daintree Make a tax-deductible donation

The Daintree Rainforests are the last extensive areas of lowland rainforest still connected and linked as a continuum with the main upland rainforest massif to the west. This connectivity is integral to the long term integrity and sustainability of both these forests and their fauna.

The Daintree Rainforests are critical habitat for the endangered Cassowary. They are also vital habitat for the primitive Musky Rat-kangaroo, the rare Bennett's Tree Kangaroo, endangered Spotted-tailed Quoll, and a myriad of smaller creatures little known to science.

With the road to Cape Tribulation now bituminised settlement of the privately owned allotments within the Daintree is escalating, resulting in the on-going loss of habitat and forest connectivity.

The Daintree is the heart and soul of the Wet Tropics

Rainforest Rescue's Daintree Buy Back and Protect Forever Project has contributed to the purchase and protection of nine properties so far. The properties are being managed for their conservation values, which will be protected forever.

Please join us in saving our priceless rainforest heritage.

Increased residential settlement will lead to calls for reduction in Crocodile numbers.
