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.

PROPAGATE AND GROW

Rainforest Rescue’s native nursery in Cow Bay propagates and grows all the rainforest trees for our Daintree lowland restoration projects. It’s time to grow!

From little things, big things grow

and look how you’ve helped rainforests grow since 1999!

110 CAPE TRIBULATION RD –  A NEW ERA OF RESTORATION

110 Cape Tribulation Rd is 75 acres of former sugarcane land consisting of around 12.5 acres of naturally regenerated habitat and 62.5 acres that can be restored. Perfect for replanting a rainforest, one seedling at a time. Help us rescue, restore and protect 110 Cape Tribulation Rd.

Welcome

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

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.

When organic matter decomposes in landfill it creates methane, a greenhouse gas around 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide 😲.⁠

On September 5th, 2024, Branden and Mark took to the airwaves with Michael Joseph, host of ‘The Michael Joseph Show’, on @douglasfm101.5 🎙️

Michael spoke with Branden and Mark about Rainforest Rescue’s strategies; how important the Daintree community is to them; and what they mean by “The Daintree Rainforest doesn’t need saving”.

- Do not feed them⁠
- Drive carefully ⁠
- Keep your dog(s) away⁠
- Avoid confrontation ⁠
- Report sightings ⁠

It`s important to remember the role cassowaries play in maintaining the rainforest, and, of course, the impacts people and modern day life have on the habitat and lives of these ancient birds. ⁠

Together we can help cassowaries thrive!⁠

#CritterCorner: Southern Cassowaries (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii) are Australia’s heaviest bird, weighing up to 70kg! Reaching 1.8m in height they are 3rd tallest behind emus (up to 2m) & ostriches (up to 2.7m) 💙❤️🖤.⁠

Like the Emu and Ostrich, the Southern Cassowary is a ratite – a large flightless bird with unusual feathers, strong legs and other distinguishing features that point to its unique evolutionary history.⁠

In a recent Supporter Survey, you listed climate change, logging and property development as the top 3 threats to rainforests, with government policy and agriculture rounding out the top 5.⁠

And, when you boil it down, all these threats are intertwined. Poor policy decisions lead to substandard protection of habitat and unchecked destruction of biodiverse areas for human use and consumption. Nature is, sadly, at our mercy.⁠

This is why declared Nature Refuges are critical to safeguarding the future of these precious habitats 🌱💚🌳.⁠

Considering the current situation can be a daunting task, let alone thinking about the future. But we must think forward to set a course and to give all of us hope that we can and will make a positive difference, inspiring others to do so in the process.⁠

We`d love to hear from you! Check out our one-question survey at https://bit.ly/oneQ (link in bio) and share what you think the next 25 years are going to bring. ⁠

#ForestFlora: The King Fern (Angiopteris evecta) is one of the largest and most ancient ferns in the world 🌿. ⁠

It looks a little like a palm crown growing directly out of the ground but this is actually a relic fern from the late Paleozoic era. ⁠

A good place to see King Ferns is along the road to Cape Tribulation, and the Nandroya Falls track in the Palmerston section of Wooroonooran National Park (south of Cairns). Discover more online: www.rainforestrescue.org.au/forest-flora-king-fern (link in bio) 💚. ⁠

The low-frequency, booming calls of the Southern Cassowary are at the bottom end of human hearing. At 32 Hertz, they are the lowest known vocalisations of all birds and have been described as ‘strange’ and ‘unsettling’ by people who have heard them. These low-frequency sounds (known as ‘infrasound’) are thought to travel over long distances, even through dense rainforest foliage. ⁠

Tune in and listen to the cassowary calls on our website: www.rainforestrescue.org.au/save-the-cassowary/biology-physiology (link in bio) 👂.⁠

Yesterday was World Science Day for Peace and Development, which highlights the significant role of science in society and the need to engage more people in debates on emerging scientific issues 🔬🔍💚.⁠

We apply science in all our efforts to help protect the Daintree FOREVER, and we want to help others understand the importance and relevance of science in the daily lives of all of us. ⁠

Amongst other scientific projects, we are working with Fred Holden, a research officer at James Cook University, who is helping investigate the carbon dioxide removal through the enhanced weathering of basalt in acidic soils, with experience in soil monitoring and environmental management. To better understand our trees, we need to unearth what is happening in the mysterious world right under our feet. ⁠

#CritterCorner: Named after its distinctive white lips, the White-lipped tree frog (Litoria infrafrenata) is Australia’s largest native frog 🐸💚. ⁠

The White-lipped tree frog’s colour can vary – some are pure green, some are a greenish shade of brown, and others aren’t so green at all (more of a pale brown). If you’re lucky, during the breeding season, you may spy some that have a salmon-pink colouration down their arms and legs. ⁠

Have you browsed the pages of this nature storybook 📚?⁠

"Seed to Sky: Life in the Daintree" by Pamela Freeman tells the story of a bull kauri conifer`s life journey - from germination on the rainforest floor 200 years ago, to sapling, and eventually to a present-day mature tree, towering above the canopy 🌳🦋🐌.⁠

It is filled with fun facts about animals and plants native to the Daintree Rainforest, and the illustrations by Liz Anelli are absolutely stunning 😍.⁠

We love discovering beautiful stories of the Daintree, fiction or otherwise. Share a book or film that you recommend in the comments below 👇️. ⁠
