#ForestFlora: Blue Quandong (Elaeocarpus grandis) is one of Australia’s fastest growing rainforest species, especially following disturbances. In its native tropical environment, it can grow up to 35m high. 🌳💙. That's a big tree!

The Blue Quandong is an important tree in natural rainforest succession because its canopy is quite open and it allows some light through to the shorter understory. It also grows blue fruits that expand to about 3cm in diameter when ripe. These blue fruits are enjoyed by Musky Rat-Kangaroos, Spectacled Flying-foxes, and many species of birds, including Southern Cassowaries. Among indigenous people, Blue Quandongs are also valued for their medicinal properties.

It’s International Day of Forests, and the theme for 2023 is “Forests and health” 💚.

The Daintree Rainforest is the oldest continuously evolving tropical rainforest in the world and it contains an almost complete record of the evolution of plant life on Earth. This precious and unique rainforest is home to 30% of Australia’s frog, reptile, and marsupial species, 65% of Australia’s bat and butterfly species as well as 18% of all bird species. Not to mention the 12,000 insect species!

The Daintree Rainforest is a lifeline for our wilderness and humanity.

Together with our #PartnersForProtection, Conservation Partners, #RainforestGuardians, and #RainforestRescuers, we have protected hundreds of thousands of square metres of Daintree Rainforest and planted as many trees to repair damaged lowland rainforest 🌳🌳🌳.

Today, we want to celebrate International Day of Forests by sharing with you WHY some of our business partners choose to make protecting rainforests part of their business.

We are very grateful to all our supporters; we couldn’t do it without you 💚.

Special shout out to the partners featured in this video - @biopak.packaging , @ambius_australia , and @wildlifesydneyzoo / @wildlifeconservationfund 💚.

Take a moment today to learn more about the Daintree Rainforest by visiting our website: https://www.rainforestrescue.org.au/ 💚.

Have you seen the 'Myrtle Rust – The Silent Killer' by Australian Network For Plant Conservation 🌿📺?

This shocking and important short film is telling the story of hundreds of Australian species in the Myrtaceae family that are susceptible to and dying from Myrtle Rust, including bottlebrushes, eucalyptus and tea trees, with 16 species set to become extinct within a generation. Myrtle Rust (Austropuccinia psidii) is attacking seedlings, saplings and established trees along the coast of New South Wales and Queensland. 

Watch the film to learn about the efforts to bring species back from the brink of extinction and the value of protecting our unique ecosystems from biosecurity threats.

Watch the full film on YouTube.

#CritterCorner: Cassowaries swallow their food (fruits) whole, digesting the pulp and passing the seeds unharmed in large piles of dung, distributing them over large areas throughout the rainforest. And more trees grow 🌳🌳🌳. This is why they're known as #RainforestGardeners

Have you ever caught the sight of a Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii) eating?

The Daintree is home to 65% of the country’s bat (and butterfly 🦋) species 🦇🦇🦇.

The Spectacled Flying Fox is an essential part of the rainforest’s web of life. The greatest threats to these rainforest pollinators and gardeners are loss of habitat, paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclus), domestic animals, and of course, climate change.

Recent extreme temperatures in Far North Queensland resulted in significant numbers of these megabats succumbing to the heat.

We're proud to partner with NightWings Rainforest & Bat Rehabilitation Centre @nightwings.centre. Together we are transforming a legacy cane plantation into bat-friendly habitat - we're #PlantingARainforest

Today is World Wildlife Day 💚.

Today (and every day!) we want to celebrate and protect Australia’s native animals and their ecosystems.

Although Boyd's Forest Dragons (Lophosaurus boydii) don't breathe fire, they are very special rainforest dwellers and living dinosaurs, a Jurassic relictual species. Known as Jalbil, those dragons' only method of thermoregulation is through ambiance, always conforming to the temperature of the occupying vegetation. This is why it's very important to protect the Daintree with myriads of habitats that our wildlife relies on.

Take a moment today to learn more about the wildlife in your area.

Consider becoming a Rainforest Guardian today 🔗☝️.

The increase in native rainforest seedling production is key to being able to restore large properties.

The new native nursery will increase our tree planting capacity to over 150,000 trees per year; this is critical in furthering our partnership with local Traditional Owners as well as our numerous conservation partners, and, it's our duty as a community, to restore and protect the Daintree 💚.

It’s wonderful to see what we are achieving together... for the Rainforests 🌳🌳🌳.

Last year, we added 11 Nature Refuges to our portfolio of protection, which brings our total of protected forever nature refuges in the Daintree to 31 properties 🌳🌳🌳.

All of these refuges will be part of the Cape Kimberley Wildlife Corridor and will increase the size of the Milky Pine Refuge, now comprising 14 properties that are all protected as nature refuges. These are self-perpetuating ecosystems working collaboratively from under the ground with the mycorrhizal fungal networks, through the leaf litter and ground level, through to the various heights of the different species, ultimately all through the ecosystem up to its closed canopy.

Creating nature refuges is key to our ability to deliver on our promise, that purchased properties are protected FOREVER.

It's time to GROW 🌳🌳🌳.

We are very excited about 2023, because we're building the Daintree’s largest native nursery that will ultimately produce 150,000 trees per year - this will provide for the replanting of almost 25 hectares of rainforest habitat every year 🌳🌳🌳.
