IT’S OUR NATURE TO PROTECT
Together We Are Protecting 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 Rainforests
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 – and effective!
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.
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. Become a Rainforest Rescuer today!
LATEST RESCUE
It’s official: Lot 24 Cape Tribulation Road is now part of the Rainforest Rescue portfolio of protection. YOU did this and we can’t thank you enough.
Lot 24 Cape Tribulation Rd will now help extend the reach of the Cape Kimberley Wildlife Corridor. This rescue will serve to provide protected habitat which supports the unique and endangered plants and animals of the Daintree Rainforest.
Huge kudos and huge thanks to all of you who helped make this latest rescue possible – this is fantastic!

#CritterCorner - Terrestrial snails, aka land snails, are a group of land-dwelling gastropods that have the ability to breathe air (this includes slugs, which are very similar to snails except they lack a shell) & they are often referred to as Natures Recyclers.⠀
The Wet Tropics area in far north Queensland is home to over 220 species of terrestrial snails (more than half of which have not been formally described yet) and at least 86 of these species are micro-snails, meaning their shells are less than 5mm in diameter.⠀
Can you spot the micro-snail in this photo? 🐌⠀

"As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I'll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I'll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can" - John Muir⠀

“The forest is a peculiar organism of unlimited kindness and benevolence that makes no demands for its sustenance and extends generously the products of its life activity; it affords protection to all beings, offering shade even to the axe-man who destroys it.” - Gautama Buddha⠀

'Komorebi' eloquently captures the effect of sunlight filtering through the leaves of the trees. It is the interplay of the aesthetics between the shadows and the leaves, and the shape of nature’s wisest earthly existence – trees.⠀
The etymology of the word komorebi is a quite logical and obvious one. Komorebi is a compound of four characters – three kanji and the hiragana particle れ. The first kanji 木 means ‘tree’ (or ‘trees‘), the second one 漏 refers to ‘escape’ and the last one 日 is ‘light‘ or ‘sun‘ and there we come to the literal, yet very poetic meaning of the term Komorebi – the sunshine filtering through the leaves of trees.⠀
The closest English equivalent is probably the phrase 'dappled sunlight' ☀️🌳😍💚 ⠀
