25 YEARS PROTECTING & RESTORING RAINFORESTS

In 1999, our founders set out to protect the under-protected rainforest in Australia. What matters then still matters now. Rainforests are biodiverse, ecologically rich habitats that are important to our planet’s health. To borrow a phrase, “The better time to plant a tree was 25 years ago. The best time is now.”

Welcome

YOUR SUPPORT WILL HELP THE NURSERY THRIVE

Thanks to your support, we can now purchase the practical items required for our nursery to deliver a tree-planting capacity of 150,000 trees a year. Your support in ensuring the continuing operations of the Daintree’s largest nursery is inspiring, and we can’t thank you enough.

Welcome

2024 ANNUAL COMMUNITY TREE PLANTING DAY

After what has felt like the longest wet season in recent memory, it was a real joy for the Rainforest Rescue community to come together at Nightwings Rainforest Centre on 18th May.
Thanks to everyone who participated, the day exceeded all expectations!

Welcome

DONATE NOW

When you give generously, you become part of a committed team of individuals who collectively are helping to preserve some of the most biodiverse habitats and the species that live within them on this planet.

A day in the life of Rainforest Rescue Land Management and Nursery staff.

It’s never boring around here – our on-the-ground team is always busy! As you can imagine, there are some challenges – tackling the tropical heat, torrential rain, bugs that bite, and plants that sting, just to name a few. But these challenges are far outweighed by the positive outcomes we are achieving for nature with your support.

Our Land Management and Nursery staff spend their days collecting seeds, analysing data, observing weather, monitoring wildlife, propagating, planting, soil testing and so much more. Not to mention, their outdoor ‘office’ comes with views to die for 😍.

Working in the Daintree isn`t one of the easiest jobs due to the climate and the terrain here. But it`s certainly one of the most rewarding ones! 

Get involved and let`s plant more trees together: www.rainforestrescue.org.au/rainforest-guardians (link in bio).

The better time to plant a tree was 25 years ago. The best time is now.

#CritterCorner: Have you seen a Spotted-tailed quoll (Dasyurus maculatus gracilis) 👀? Their population is seriously threatened throughout mainland Australia due to the introduction of feral animals such as foxes, cats and dogs, as well as diseases, and the destruction of their forest habitats. ⁠

Nocturnal by nature, this solitary and bold carnivore usually hunts in open country or woodland. It can occasionally be spotted foraging by day but prefers to spend daylight hours in nests made under rocks in underground burrows or fallen logs. ⁠

Endemic to Queensland, the Spotted-tailed quoll is currently classified as an endangered species under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.⁠

This #BiodiversityMonth, we want to help raise awareness of endangered and threatened species of fauna that are important to the wellbeing of the rainforests 💚.⁠

Much like other iconic species, such as the Giant Panda or Blue Whale, Cassowaries represent a much larger slice of their native, natural environment. They act not just as an ambassador for that environment but also as a barometer of its health, sharing that indicator with a broader audience 💙❤️.⁠


It`s with the help of Princess as a figurehead for the Wet Tropics we are as far along the journey as we are today, securing and restoring connected rainforest corridors and intact areas of habitat for other cassowaries to thrive in. We’re ever grateful to WILD LIFE Life Sydney Zoo and its team for their ongoing loyalty and commitment to the Daintree. Partnerships like theirs amplify our vision and bring our messages to people who we might never reach. ⁠


Helping people understand how rainforests are important, full of biodiversity, and essential connections - like the cassowary spreading plant seeds around the forest floor - is vital in creating meaningful change. Having a personal encounter and connection with threatened species can help move mountains when it comes to conservation efforts. ⁠

26th September is World Cassowary Day, but we’ve decided to continue the celebrations for a few days 💙❤️, we simply cannot stop raving about this iconic, ancient bird. The Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii) is an extremely important species in Far North Queensland’s tropical rainforests 🌱🌱🌳🌳🌳. ⁠

The gentle treatment of the fruits through the Cassowary’s primitive digestive system means the seeds are passed relatively unharmed and are ready for germination in their own “compost heap” of dung. Thanks to these rainforest gardeners, the rainforest keeps expanding! It`s a win-win for everyone.⁠

Learning a little more about this very important and endangered bird can make a huge difference to our entire planet: www.rainforestrescue.org.au/critter-corner-southern-cassowary (link in bio) 💙❤️. ⁠

Often, the more we know the more action we want to take. And together, we can protect the rainforest and its habitats FOREVER. ⁠

It’s World Cassowary Day 💙❤️🖤.

When we began our work - 25 years ago - the vulnerability and decline of the Southern Cassowary in the Daintree was already well documented. We became one of several organisations working together to halt the population and habitat loss of this prehistoric ‘Rainforest Gardener’, with campaigns and activism highlighting the urgency of their plight as an endangered species in the region. But, as we know, often grassroots action isn’t enough - issues like the Cassowary’s decline need people like yourself to become aware, to care, and to spread the word.

Today we are excited to introduce you to one of our #PartnersForProtection, @wildlifesydneyzoo , home to a male Southern Cassowary named Princess 👸.

For the last ten years, the keepers at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo have been educating visitors about the Daintree Rainforest and its incredible inhabitants. Central to this is a charismatic representative of rainforest royalty, Princess the Cassowary. Isn’t he just majestic!

According to his keepers, Princess was mistaken for a female before a DNA test proved otherwise. He also hates getting his feet wet even though most Cassowaries love water, and he refuses to eat certain fruits with seeds in them. Rainforest Rescue was just 2 years old when Princess was born, so in some ways we have grown up alongside each other.

This week, please savour a moment to reflect on your own support of rainforest conservation and restoration, consider the millions of years that cassowaries have roamed the Daintree and how fortunate we are to share the present day with them and perhaps pass on Princess’ video to someone you know to help raise awareness 💙❤️🖤.

#CritterCorner: Almost exclusively aerial, the White-throated Needletail (Hirundapus caudacutus) can fly at speeds of up to 130 km per hour ⚡️.⁠

This is equivalent to about two times as fast as a gazelle, or about three-and-a-half times as fast as Usain Bolt... impressive! ⁠

Needletails feed on flying insects, such as termites, ants, beetles and flies and can catch their food mid-flight with ease. ⁠

These very special birds are currently classified as a vulnerable species under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.⁠

This #BiodiversityMonth, we want to help raise awareness of endangered and threatened species of fauna that are important to the wellbeing of the rainforests 💚.⁠

It`s a World Rivers Day today, which is a great opportunity to help highlight the precious value of our rivers, increase public awareness, and encourage the improved stewardship of all rivers around the world. ⁠

Rivers in virtually every country face an array of threats; and only through our active involvement can we ensure their health 💙.⁠

Two major rivers define the two access points to the Daintree Cape Tribulation Rainforest, the Bloomfield in the north and the Daintree in the south, with various creeks and water holes, all of which nurture the rainforest, and provide a home to many water dwelling critters. ⁠

Take a moment today to learn more about the waterways around you and the creatures who rely on them - notice how we are all connected 💙.⁠

With over half of the world’s ancient plant families occurring within the Daintree, it’s very much a ‘living museum’. ⁠

Today, our seed collectors want to share with you a little about the collecting they do. They are usually found investigating the leaf litter for fallen fruits or keeping an eye on the ripening berries at select locations. ⁠

Seeds really matter! If we are going to help mitigate climate change and restore more rainforest, we need to plant more trees. To plant more trees we must produce more trees. ⁠

With your help, we have built the Daintree’s largest nursery that will ultimately produce 150,000 trees per year - ready for the replanting of almost 25 hectares of rainforest habitat every year. ⁠

Collecting native seeds plays a huge part in the intended reforestation. ⁠

As our skilled seed collectors are looking for Idiospermum australiense, Elaeocarpus grandis, Homalanthus novoguineensis and many more other species` seeds they are focusing on strategic and effective rainforest preservation. ⁠

‘Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud’ 🖤💛❤️.⁠

During the first week of July each year, National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia, helping recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.⁠

This year, we had the opportunity to participate in the vibrant NAIDOC Week festivities in Mossman where we could connect with the local community and contribute to the spirit of the day.⁠

Our stall was nestled amongst an array of other displays, including art from our good friend Sheryl J. Burchill and other talented local artists with their creations, such as hand-made t-shirts, painted burnie beans, and woven baskets, as well as traditional dancing and music.⁠

It was a fantastic day and we were honoured to be part of it. Shout out to Brody & the team at @mossmansupportservices who led the charge in organising the celebrations 👏🙏.⁠

Australia is a special place – full of diversity 💚.⁠

In fact, Australia is one of a group of only 17 ‘megadiverse’ countries that cover less than 10% of the world’s area but have more than 70% of its biodiversity.⁠

Many of our plants, animals and places are unique and are not found anywhere else in the world. They are very important. ⁠

#CritterCorner: The Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii) is a large flightless, seed-dispersing bird of the Daintree that many plant species rely on 💚.⁠

For such a large bird, they’re quite elusive. Typically shy and solitary, they only become aggressive when threatened (usually when they`re protecting their chicks).⁠

Threats to the Southern Cassowary include fragmentation and modification of habitat, vehicle strikes, dog attacks, human interactions, pigs, disease and natural catastrophic events. They need our help so they can continue to help the rainforest.⁠

To learn more about these incredible creatures, visit https://www.rainforestrescue.org.au/save-the-cassowary/ 💙❤️🖤⁠

#ForestFlora: Mangrove orchid (Dendrobium mirbelianum)`s an epiphytic or lithophytic herb with cylindrical, dark blackish brown pseudobulbs with leathery, dark green leaves and up to twelve pale to dark brown flowers with a yellow labellum with dark red veins. This dark-stemmed antler orchid is found in Far North Queensland, Solomon Islands and Papua and New Guinea 🥀. ⁠

And it`s classified as endangered, mostly due to land clearing for agriculture. ⁠

This #BiodiversityMonth, we want to help raise awareness of endangered and threatened species of flora that are important to the wellbeing of the rainforests 💚.

It`s National Threatened Species Day, which is a great opportunity to help raise awareness of animals and plants at risk of extinction, such as Australia`s Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii) which is listed as an Endangered species at both the Queensland State and Australian Government levels. ⁠

This iconic flightless bird is facing multiple challenges, including habitat loss, vehicle strikes, dog attacks and an increasing frequency of natural disasters. ⁠

Through eating rainforest fruits and then pooing out the seeds some time later, they play a vital role in seed dispersal. Many plants depend on the cassowary for seed dispersal. Without them, the integrity of rainforest structure is in peril.⁠

#CritterCorner: The Eastern curlew (Numenius madagascariensis) begins its life in Russia and north-eastern China before traveling more than 10,000km to enjoy the summer’s sun on southern feeding grounds like Queensland’s Toondah Harbour 🐦.⁠

Did you know they are listed as critically endangered in Australia? In fact, their global population is estimated to have declined by 80% in the last 30 years 😔.⁠

As a wading bird that travels across our earth, they rely on intertidal mudflats for food and habitat. But along their migration route, these mudflats are being developed or eroded, placing these beautiful birds at risk.⁠

The Eastern curlew relies on our active protection of their natural habitat 🌳🌳.⁠

This #BiodiversityMonth, we want to help raise awareness of endangered and threatened species of fauna that are important to the wellbeing of the rainforests 💚.

Jabalbina Yalanji Aboriginal Corporation (JYAC)`s first tree order was collected in July 🌳🌳🌳.⁠

You probably recall that our Diwan Nursery was handed over to JYAC in late 2023. If you missed it, you can read the article here:⁠
www.rainforestrescue.org.au/media-release-a-gift-for-the-rainforest-daintree-plant-nursery-at-the-heart-of-local-partnership (or visit the News link in our bio) 💚.⁠

Over 12,000 plants a year will be grown at the Diwan facility, with JYAC`s forest rangers team employing the native flora to help restore lowland rainforest at Wawu Dimbi. But, as we all know, growing plants takes time, and the JYAC team needed more for this incredible restoration project 🌳🌳🌳. ⁠

Wawu Dimbi is an important conservation property near Forest Creek, on the edge of the Daintree River, forming a connection between World Heritage protected habitat and wetlands of ecological significance. ⁠

The name Wawu Dimbi means ‘spirit in the background’, referring to the significant cultural site of Thorntons Peak, which is a major Kuku Yalanji story place. ⁠

Hundreds of rainforest plants have already been planted at Wawu Dimbi thanks to the JYAC team, and there`s many more to come!⁠
