IT’S OUR NATURE TO PROTECT
Together We Can Protect Rainforests Forever
Rainforests are under constant threat from development and climate change. Protecting and restoring rainforests is our business. Join Us!
How YOU can help
SAVE A RAINFOREST
Rainforests support around half of all land-based species of plants and animals on Earth. Structurally complex, rainforests are essential to both animals and humans.
PLANT A RAINFOREST
Many rainforests are disappearing with 65,000 hectares cleared or significantly de-graded every single day. Restoration is possible. We believe Trees Are The Answer.
PROTECT WILDLIFE
We are losing the rich diversity of the rainforests. Many of these irreplaceable animal and plant species are now under threat and need our help to survive into the future.
From little things, big things grow
and look how you’ve helped us grow since 1999!

LATEST RESCUE – LOT 36
Lot 36 Ronald Road is our 40th property rescue (our 39th property in the Daintree). Another 2.03 hectares protected forever, thanks to YOU and your support. BUT this rescue was a little different… you may not have heard about it yet and you won’t have received a letter or email, or seen us fundraising on social media for this one…
THE DAILY AUS IN THE DAINTREE
The team from The Daily Aus, in partnership with the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF), came to the Daintree Rainforest to see the impacts of climate change for themselves and understand the vital role our work plays in helping mitigate climate change.
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.

26 July is International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem (colloquially known as World Mangrove Day) 💚.
Take a moment to enjoy this #MangroveMeditation and marvel in their beauty 🙏🏻.
In the Daintree Rainforest mangroves link the two #UNESCO world heritage areas of the rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef together!
"Mangroves are rare, spectacular and prolific ecosystems on the boundary between land and sea. These extraordinary ecosystems contribute to the wellbeing, food security, and protection of coastal communities worldwide.
They support a rich biodiversity and provide a valuable nursery habitat for fish and crustaceans.
Mangroves also act as a form of natural coastal defence against storm surges, tsunamis, rising sea levels and erosion. Their soils are highly effective carbon sinks, sequestering vast amounts of carbon.
Yet mangroves are disappearing three to five times faster than overall global forest losses, with serious ecological and socio-economic impacts.
Current estimates indicate that mangrove coverage has been divided by two in the past 40 years."
Keen to learn more about the mangroves of the Wet Tropics?
We recommend checking out the @wettropicsworldheritage
website and for mangroves around the world check out @UNESCO

Did you know that most birds share their parental duties equally; however, about 1% of bird species delegate all the chicks care to their fathers?
For example, a male Southern Cassowary incubates eggs for 50 days and then cares for the chicks for the next 3 years as a solo parent 🥚🐤🐤.
So, if you ever come across a family of Southern Cassowaries in the Daintree, make sure you give them a lot of space and don't approach - those beautiful, large, colourful, flightless fathers are very protective of their young.
Take a moment to learn more about Southern Cassowaries online - link in bio 💚👀.

NAIDOC Week 2022 @naidocweek is in full swing! The purpose of this national week is to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth ❤️💛🖤💙💚.
Rainforest Rescue acknowledges the Eastern Kuku Yalanji people as the Traditional Custodians of the Daintree Rainforest – Julay Madja – and we are proud to work alongside @ _jabalbina_ 💚.
Our headquarters is located in Byron Bay, NSW on Arakwal Country within the Bundjalung Nation and we also have staff located in Meanjin (Brisbane).
We recognise and respect ancestors and elder’s past, present and emerging, and we acknowledge that this land was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Thanks to your support the construction of our new native Nursery is well underway. But there’s a missing piece in this puzzle… and it might be YOU! Check out the link in our bio for full details on these 4 job vacancies 😉🌱💚🌳
IT’S OFFICIAL: Lot 36 Ronald Road, Daintree is safe from development 💚.
Another 2.03 hectares protected forever, thanks to YOU and your support.
This rainforest property rescue is very special - we didn't call for any additional fundraising activities, because a number of individuals, businesses and organisations contributed funds outside of our appeals. These funds went directly to the Rainforest Rescue ‘Rescue Fund’, which allowed us to act quickly and secure this rainforest property so we can protect it forever 💚.

Last month we participated in the 2022 Cairns EcoFiesta at the Munro Martin Parklands, where we had many wonderful conversations that inspired folks to take action and to get involved to help protect and restore rainforest.
We had a great presence at the festival and a good looking stall set up in the workshop space which allowed us to display @martinstringerphotography.
One of a majestic Mahogany Tree and Fan Palms at Lot 18, Cape Kimberley Road, which was a successful campaign last year that Marty enjoyed discussing with eager festival-goers who were thrilled to learn about the positive impact that Rainforest Rescue is having.
One of our #NextGenRainforestRescuers, Daisy, was lucky enough to be pulled up on stage by @costasworld from @abctv @gardeningaustralia to co-host a quiz and announce the winners.

Our new Native Nursery mission is to grow 75,000 trees within the first year, with more than 1 million trees produced at the end of the first decade 🌳🌳🌳.
Such mission requires supplies, such as potting tubes, seed trays and wheelbarrows, fridges and shovels and kitchen sinks, to name a few - all in the name of growing MORE trees and preserving precious ecosystems within our rainforests.

The goal for our new nursery is to be able to produce 150,000 trees per year, and for this to ultimately be a self-sustaining social enterprise that serves the local community.
During construction and when fully operational, it will also provide skilled jobs that make a real difference to people in the local area, including indigenous communities.
But to get there, we need your help to be part of something special that will serve the Daintree and beyond.
Your donation can help us scale up the nursery and create positive impact for generations to come.

Daintree Rainforest homes many endemic species of flora and fauna, making it a unique oasis of life!
We must protect our rainforests. And together, we can protect them FOREVER.

Currently, Rainforest Rescue’s existing nursery provides around 12,000 trees a year for planting through our Plant a Rainforest projects. A truly transformational effort. But we need more trees!
To make that a reality we’re now building a much larger nursery to ensure more rainforest restoration. And thus we’ve been moving towards our vision of producing 150,000 trees per year (and looking forward to producing our first million within the first 10 years!).
