How YOU can help
PROTECT A RAINFOREST
Our ‘Protect a Rainforest’ project focuses on purchasing rainforest blocks for conservation and protecting them forever, increasing connectivity and protecting biodiversity.
PLANT A RAINFOREST
Our ‘Plant a Rainforest’ projects replant rainforest and re-establish habitat for plants and animals’ endemic to that specific ecosystem. We believe Trees Are The Answer.
PRESERVE WILDLIFE
Rainforests support an incredible range of plant and wildlife species that contribute significantly to the health of the rainforest ecosystem, such as The Southern Cassowary.
From little things, big things grow

KURRANJI BUBU – LOT 46
In 2010 we purchased an abandoned palm oil plantation at Lot 46 Cape Tribulation Rd & began restoring it. In 2021 the local Yalanji language committee granted Lot 46 the traditional name of Kurranji Bubu (Cassowary Land) and it is now a protected Nature Refuge.

It's #WorldParrotDay 🦜🦜🦜.
At just 14cm long from beak to tail, the Double-eyed fig parrot (Cyclopsitta diophthalma) is a little critter with a large head and gorgeous colours on its face, often found in the Daintree Rainforest (and even in Northern New South Wales). Have you seen one 'in the wild' 👀?
We love Double-eyed fig parrots, especially because they are seed dispensers, helping us reforest the Daintree.
We are committed to planting a LOT more native trees, helping restore and protect the rainforest.
Donate to support the native nursery 🔗👆.
And/or join us for our next Tree Planting Day. More details coming soon.

Our 2023 Annual Community Tree Planting Day was our biggest tree planting yet 🌳🌳🌳.
On 6 May, 141 individuals and Partners undertook the journey to NightWings Rainforest Centre. Together we put a record breaking 3,300 trees into the ground (90 different rainforest species!) - all under 1.5 hours - transforming 15 hectares of old sugarcane fields back into thriving rainforest habitat. WOW! Thank you, ALL. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Check out some of the highlights online - visit the News page of our website (or send us a message) - link in bio.

#CritterCorner: The Bennett’s Tree Kangaroo (𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑟𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑔𝑢𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑢𝑠) is the larger of the two tree-kangaroos endemic to Australia.
They are endemic to Wet Tropics rainforest in Far north Qld north of the Daintree River, found in the canopy and classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List.
Their maximum weight is between 11-14kg when mature, body length ranges from 690–760mm and tail length can be 740–840mm long.
Threats to these magnificent creatures include habitat loss and fragmentation resulting in tree-kangaroos being exposed to predators, and road traffic.
Bennett’s Tree Kangaroo are folivores (i.e. leaf-eater) – eating mostly leaves, fruit or flower off potentially more than 33 different rainforest plant species. This is why the protection of the rainforest in the Daintree is so important.
Have you spotted a Bennett's tree-kangaroo on your Daintree visits?

Have you seen Phallus multicolor reveal its veil 🍄?
Commonly referred to as Yellow Netted Stinkhorn or Yellow Bridal Veil, a species of fungus in the family Phallaceae or “stinkhorns” has a cone or bell-shaped cap on a stalk and a delicate “lace skirt” (indusium) that hangs from beneath the cap almost reaching the ground.
This time lapse was taken over the period of only a couple of hours.
This Forest Fungi can be found within the leaf litter on the Rainforest floors of Australia, Sumatra, Guam, Papua New Guinea, Java, Borneo, Tobago, Zaire, Hawaii and New Caledonia.They are common in Queensland and can be found all year round.

#ForestFlora: Black Bean Tree (Castanospermum australe) is a beautiful rainforest tree that grows in moist, fertile, well-drained soil, often on terraces on the side of mountains or along the banks of rivers and streams. It reaches a height of 40 metres at maturity 🌳😲.
Black Bean Tree is known as 'Mirrayn' in the Jirrbal language, 'Junggurra' in Yindinji and 'Baway' in Kuku Yalanji.

Today's International Day of Plant Health 💚.
Plants make up 80% of the food we eat and 98% of the oxygen we breathe, yet they are under threat. This is why today (and every day!) we want to celebrate #IDPH to help raise global awareness on how protecting plant health can help end hunger, reduce poverty, protect biodiversity and the environment, and boost economic development.
We are committed to protecting Daintree Rainforest and working towards increasing tree production in the Daintree by over 1000%, breathing life into new restoration projects that will see the size of the Daintree increase and its resilience grow 💚.
Join the movement - become a Rainforest Guardian 💚.

The purchase of Lot 41 has doubled the size of the Cape Kimberley Wildlife corridor, which is a huge win for the Daintree Rainforest and all the unique ecosystems within. It's a win for humanity!
And we didn't do it alone. In fact, it's the proud Platinum Partner @kloraneau and the @kloranebotanicalfoundation combined investment of $50,000 that helped secure the land and contribute towards protecting the rainforest.
"With this partnership we hope to preserve the natural environment of the Daintree and continue to educate the next generation on caring for the planet,” said Stephanie Lambey, Director of the Klorane Botanical Foundation.
Our warmest gratitude goes to Klorane and the Klorane Botanical Foundation for their continued and immense support. You are helping to preserve the biodiversity of this World Heritage rainforest for generations to come, and secure habitat and a food source for many special, rare and endemic residents of the Daintree.
