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! Imagine a world without them and all their species.
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 Guardian today!

RECLAIMING FOREST LAND
Thanks to the many Rainforest Rescuers that supported our last campaign, our 33rd Rainforest property, Lot 30 Cape Tribulation Rd, has been purchased and rescued! Everyone who supported this effort – you did it. Well done!
Now for the next property, Lot 27. This is also part of the Cape Kimberley Wildlife Corridor, which provides essential habitat for endangered and threatened species.

With climate change looming, planting trees may be our best opportunity to preserve the land and help reduce carbon in the atmosphere while expanding precious habitat and protecting biodiversity. Rainforest Rescue believes in the power of trees to help regulate our climate and ensure a more sustainable world. Rainforests provide rich ecosystem services that support and enhance life on our planet.

#ForestFacts: The rainforests of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area have more plants with primitive characteristics than any other place on earth.
You may have come across this one: the Ribbonwood Tree (Idiospermum australiense), sometimes referred to as the idiot fruit tree for its idiosyncratic nature, or 'The Green Dinosaur' in recognition of its ancient lineage. A tall tree with intricate flowers and some of the largest seeds in Australia – it's survival may have come through its toxic seeds (👉swipe to see), which severely poison animals that come in contact.
So how does it spread it's seeds? Gravity dispersal – seeds rolling down the steep mountain slopes to find their new home!
Magic? Or maybe just nature doing its thing.

#CritterCorner - You may not believe me, but Australia still has dragons (just not the fire breathing type). I'm a Boyd’s Forest Dragon (Lophosaurus boydii, formerly Hypsilurus boydii), a rainforest dwelling lizard that is endemic to the Wet Tropics of North Queensland. 🐉⠀
Of the two rainforest dragons in Australia, we're the biggest with a body length of approx. 15cm and a tail twice the length of that! We have spiky protrusions, large cheek scales and a yellow dewlap, which leave us looking like mini versions of the dragons you grew up with in fairy tales! ⠀
We're pretty active during the day, and you might just find one of us hanging out on a tree trunk at about head height - if you approach, we'll likely just slowly creep around to the other side of the tree in hopes you don't notice us moving. We rely on camouflage for protection from predators.⠀

#FunFact: The Carpet Python (Morelia spilota) is known as Kabul in the traditional language of the Arakwal people of Byron Bay. It is also one of their key totems and symbolises the relationship of clan members to each other, to ancestors and the past, and to particular places or sites.⠀
