#CritterCorner: Macleay`s Honeyeater (Xanthotis macleayanus) is a beautiful honeyeater endemic to Australia❀️.

If you are in Northern Queensland, from Cooktown to the southern end of the Paluma Range, keep an eye on the sky as you may spot these beauties amongst tropical dry forests and/or tropical moist lowland forests, probably chasing insects and/or enjoying some wild fruit, while assisting the forest flora though pollination.

Learn more on our website: https://www.rainforestrescue.org.au/critter-corner-macleays-honeyeater/ (πŸ”— in bio) and make sure to send it to a friend as well - share the knowledge!

The Milky Pine Nature Refuge and Cape Kimberley Wildlife Corridor are essential habitat that homes endangered wildlife like the Southern cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii) and numerous rare or threatened plant species including Noah’s walnut (Endiandra microneura) and Chingia australis.

The corridor helps establish vital connectivity, providing wildlife with a safe haven.

Our #PartnersForProtection, like @treadright, have been instrumental in helping us protect natural habitats crucial to the survial of the precious wildlife here πŸ’š.

In July 2023, a romance was blossoming on Lot 41 Cape Tribulation Rd (which we purchased with your support in early 2023) πŸ’š.

Things must have gone very well - by October 2023, our trail cams captured an adult cassowary with two chicks in tow. Then, in January 2024, we spotted something interesting... not one, but two adult cassowaries with the two chicks!

Usually, the male cassowary is solely responsible for hatching their chicks and raising them until they are independent. But this family continues to enjoy the safe haven of Lot 41 Cape Tribulation Rd as a group of four. We can’t wait to find out, and to watch these little ones grow.

Stay tuned for more #CassowaryCam footage πŸ–€πŸ’™β€οΈπŸ“Ή.

#CritterCorner: you may (very understandably so!) think this is a dinosaur`s foot πŸ¦–πŸ‘€.

Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii)`s origins date back to the prehistoric time period (did someone say #DinosaurBirds?) πŸ’™.

Cassowaries began to evolve around 60 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, when non-avian dinosaurs were the dominant animal life on Earth.

Birds first appeared in the Jurassic period (about 150 million years ago). The extinction of terrestrial dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period (65 million years ago) allowed birds and mammals to diversify and grow larger. They also took on many of the ecological roles left open by the extinct dinosaurs.

Learn more about their evolution on our website: rainforestrescue.org.au/save-the-cassowary/evolution (link in bio) πŸ’š.

#WornByYou: There are so many ways you can make a difference, especially when a challenge feels too large, like the growing effects of climate change.

We believe that protecting and restoring rainforests is climate action! And it`s via our three main programs (Protect a Rainforest, Plant a Rainforest and Propagate & Grow), and numerous other activities, that we have been contributing towards the future of the Daintree - the lungs of our planet.

When you shop with Rainforest Rescue, you help protect the rainforest: rainforestrescue.org.au/shop (link in bio) πŸ’š.

It`s World Wildlife Day πŸ’š

And we want to celebrate wildlife and the important conservation work being done around the world, and especially here, in the Daintree. Join us!

People everywhere rely on wildlife and biodiversity to meet our needs - from food, to fuel, medicines, housing, and clothing. For all of us to enjoy the benefits and the beauty that nature creates, people must work together to make sure ecosystems are able to thrive, and plant and animal species are able to exist for future generations.

All our conservation efforts matter πŸ’š.

Today (and every day!), we want to join our voices with people all around the globe to help raise awareness and understanding of the urgent need to protect nature.

From Stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria), to Blue-banded (Amegilla cingulata) and Teddy Bear bees (Amegilla bombiformis), Australian native bees are diverse and precious. They are very important pollinators!

And we want to support their wellbeing and encourage them to visit your gardens and properties.

Powerful Pollinators is a program designed by @wheenbeefoundation to increase the prevalence, health and diversity of pollinators in the landscape. This program encourages the strategic planting of β€˜trees for bees’ and other pollinators and provides Powerful Pollinator Planting Guides developed by experienced botanists and field ecologists for use by landholders: wheenbeefoundation.org.au/our-work/projects/powerful-pollinators 🐝🐝🐝.

Help us protect their home πŸ’š.

Being a Rainforest Guardian is a commitment to protecting precious ecosystems and the homes of 25 rare or threatened species of animals, like the endangered Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii).

You can find the full list at https://bit.ly/DaintreeAnimals

So much life here, in the Daintree, is endemic to the region, meaning that it cannot be found anywhere else on the planet. That`s a pretty big deal.

Get involved: rainforestrescue.org.au/rainforest-guardians (link in bio).

#CritterCorner: Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii) is an extremely important species in Far North Queensland’s tropical rainforests 😍.

Do you know why?

The gentle treatment of the fruits through the Cassowary’s primitive digestive system allows the seeds to pass relatively unharmed and ready for germination in their own β€œcompost heap” of dung. It`s simple, clever and sustainable! We need more cassowaries to help reforestate damaged parts of the Daintree.

Head over to our website to discover more fun facts about cassowaries: rainforestrescue.org.au/critter-corner-southern-cassowary (πŸ”— in bio) πŸ’š.
