LOT 41 IS A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF INTACT DAINTREE RAINFOREST

Because of you, it will be protected forever.

Thanks to your support, we have doubled the size of the protected area in the Cape Kimberley Wildlife Corridor.

The Daintree is one of the most significant ecosystems in the world. It is a living museum and a place of profound and unique beauty which we must protect and conserve. This region of the wet tropics contains some of the greatest biodiversity of flora, fauna and includes many of the most unique animals in the world.

Lot 41 Cape Tribulation Rd, Kimberley is a stunning example of intact Daintree rainforest… 

The 18.6 ha property is like being in a giant cathedral. It’s a place of spiritual connectivity. A place where you feel more in touch with your own nature—our true, spiritual nature—and in utter awe of nature’s beauty.

The previous owner of Lot 41, Tony, has lived here for over 20 years. Sadly, his wife Cheryll passed away in 2022.

For many years, Tony and Cheryll were working to make their property a nature refuge, however, with Cheryll’s passing, Tony came to us and wanted to ensure that the property is protected forever when, one day, he passes away.

Under the terms of the purchase, Tony will have the option of continuing to live on the property and be its custodian, effectively continuing the legacy of both Cheryll and himself.

We are truly humbled by this.

BY HELPING US TO PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY YOU HAVE DOUBLED THE AMOUNT OF CONSERVED LAND IN THE CAPE KIMBERLEY WILDLIFE CORRIDOR.

Lot 41 is ideally located right next to the National Park and is adjacent to other Rainforest Rescue properties in the Milky Pine Refuge, which is within the Cape Kimberley Wildlife Corridor. This purchase has further contributed to these properties and enhanced connectivity by expanding the refuge and wildlife corridor.

This purchase is history in the making, both in the significant capital involved, and how this biodiversity-rich property is a significant acquisition for the nature corridor and for the overall environmental protection of the Daintree.

Below is a map showing the existing corridor with Lot 41 outlined in aqua, Rainforest Rescue refuges in red, and other purchased properties in purple.

Thank you for helping us secure Lot 41 and expand the wildlife corridor.

The Daintree is Australia’s largest and most biodiverse rainforest, and it’s existed far longer than any other rainforest on the planet 🌳🌳🐌🍄. ⁠

Right now, amongst many other threats, habitat fragmentation makes it difficult for plants and animals to move from one rainforest patch to another, which can also limit breeding populations and impact genetic diversity, making species more vulnerable to extinction, particularly in small, isolated pockets of habitat. ⁠

It takes ALL of us to help protect the Daintree. We need your help to protect the vulnerable animals by protecting their home, now and for generations to come. ⁠

We`re certain we can do this together: www.rainforestrescue.org.au/make-an-impact/rainforest-guardians 💚. ⁠

#ForestFlora: Callicarpa means ‘beautiful fruit’ 💚. This evergreen shrub or small tree is a very useful plant, used in traditional medicine practices of First Nation Peoples. It’s also believed that early settlers utilised the leaves as a mosquito repellent for themselves and their horses. ⁠

Today, it`s commonly cultivated as an ornamental in gardens, often selected for its colourful fruits. ⁠

Have you been growing it in your garden as well? Learn more on our website: www.rainforestrescue.org.au/forest-flora-great-wooly-malayan-lilac 🌿. ⁠

It`s World Environment Day 💚 and here, at Rainforest Rescue, we’re big fans of a day that brings an environmental cause to the fore. ⁠

Our reliance on plastic is, at times, astounding. While the material may have revolutionised our consumer lives, plastic turns river systems into pollutant sources, choking our marine life. ⁠

Profound change isn’t easy. But it’s necessary! And the one thing we can control is our individual actions.

Let`s do it together! ⁠

Check out our 2023 article "From Rubbish to Rainforests" to help you connect some important dots: www.rainforestrescue.org.au/from-rubbish-to-rainforests-reflecting-on-world-environment-day-2023 💚. ⁠

#CritterCorner: The Australian Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii)`s one of the approx. 1% of bird species that exhibit male-only parental behaviour 🐦🥚🥚. ⁠

Interestingly, male parental care may also have occurred in theropod dinosaurs, the ancestors of modern birds 🦕🦖. ⁠

But this place holds more than ecological value. It carries the heartfelt wish of Judy, its long-time custodian, who has asked that we purchase and protect it as a Nature Refuge - forever 💚.

We now have the chance to honour her vision - to protect a rainforest rich in culture, biodiversity, and meaning for future generations.

Right now, every donation is matched dollar for dollar, up to $50,000 thanks to The @treadright Foundation, one of our generous #PartnersForProtection.

💚 Today is International Day for Biodiversity (IDB) 💚⁠

Biodiversity isn’t just beautiful — it’s essential. When we protect it, we help prevent pandemics. When we lose it, we increase the risk of zoonotic diseases (UNEP).⁠

This year’s theme: “Be part of the Plan” – for harmony with nature and sustainable development 🌏✨.⁠

At Rainforest Rescue, we’re taking action — our new native nursery in the Daintree is boosting tree production by over 1000% to support restoration and biodiversity. ⁠

Last Saturday, 17 May, marked our final Community Tree Planting Day at NightWings and what a send-off it was!

183 incredible Rainforest Rescuers came together and planted a whopping 3,300 trees in record time 🌱🌳.

Back in 2015, landowner Annie Shoenberger, founder of NightWings Rainforest Centre and devoted bat carer, invited Rainforest Rescue to help transform 15 hectares of ex-sugarcane land into vibrant Daintree lowland rainforest.

Ten years later, we’ve planted over 115,000 native trees at NightWings. What a journey!

A heartfelt thank you to every single person who’s dug a hole, planted a seedling, or supported us along the way. We couldn’t have done it without you 💚.

Huge thanks to the awesome crew from @b_alternative , Dave from @daintreeicecream , The Walker Brother Band, and @gone_buggo for bringing the good vibes and making this year’s event extra special ♻️🍦🎶🪲🙏

The North Coast Regional Botanic Garden (NCRBG) in Coffs Harbour has installed a new digital record-keeping system which is yielding significant results. Using Hortis, a modern, cloud-based platform recommended by Botanic Gardens Australia and New Zealand, the garden’s meticulously kept records of its 5000-strong plant collection, are being brought into the digital age 🧑‍💻💚.⁠

The team has already rediscovered crucial historical data regarding two Syzygium glenum trees, a critically endangered species endemic to Cooper Creek in the Daintree Rainforest.⁠

Did you know? For 40 million years after Australia split from Gondwana, much of the continent was covered in lush rainforest 🌿. Hard to imagine, given that today, over 20% is arid desert .⁠

As the climate dried, rainforests shrank - surviving only in pockets like the Daintree, a living window into ancient Australia’s rich natural history.⁠

#CritterCorner: Southern Cassowary chicks (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii) rely entirely on their father for food and protection during their early months.⁠

By 4–5 months old, the chicks begin to shed their striped plumage, which is replaced by longer brown feathers - an early resemblance to the sleek black plumage of adult cassowaries. Around this time, their wattles begin to develop, turning a pale pink, and the distinctive casque starts to emerge.⁠

Although still under Dad’s watchful eye, juvenile cassowaries start to forage and explore more independently, often alongside their siblings.⁠
