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.

PROTECTED – Lot 41 Cape Tribulation Rd

PURCHASED PROPERTIES

It’s in our nature to protect. With the help of Rainforest Rescuers – people like you – we are significantly protecting pristine habitat for Nature and achieving strong wins for biodiversity. Visit our Properties Rescued page for a full list of properties protected by Rainforest Rescue since 1999.

Since European settlement, approximately half of the rainforest in the Lowlands of the Daintree has been cleared. The remaining rainforest is of exceptionally high biodiversity and conservation value 💚.

The Daintree Rainforest contains an almost complete record of the evolution of plant life on Earth and has more ancient families of flowering plants than anywhere else in the world, including the entire Amazon jungle. Many of the plant and animal species here are endemic to the region, meaning that they are found nowhere else on the planet. If we lose the Daintree we lose them all. We cannot let that happen.

We`re on a mission to protect and conserve rainforest biodiversity by purchasing high conservation value rainforest properties and protecting them forever by establishing conservation covenants.

Restoration practitioners have recognised Eastern Kuku Yalanji peoples’ cultural knowledge and enduring stewardship of Bubu (Country) in an historic meeting held north of the Daintree River, the Daintree Field Day 💚.

Over two days, five restoration groups attended the event in June, co-hosted by two of our #ConservationPartners @_jabalbina_ and @wettropicsworldheritage.

During the Daintree Field Day, Rainforest Rescue shared stories and knowledge from the building of its new Native Nursery on the old airstrip at Cow Bay, and the restoration progress at Kurranji Bubu (Lot 46 Cape Tribulation Road), which is now a Nature Refuge.

#ForestFlora: The Scrub Breadfruit (Benstonea monticola) is a known and useful plant to the local Aboriginal people, who eat the nutritious fruit, and weave baskets with the beautiful leaves, which were also used for shelter before colonisation.

This plant is in the family Pandanaceae which is endemic to north east Queensland, Australia, favouring rainforest habitat. There are 14 species of Pandanus in Australia, with 9 of these in tropical Australia.

How many Pandanus species have you spotted in the Daintree?

The Daintree Rainforest is the heart and soul of Australia’s Wet Tropics. However, the World Heritage Area does not extend to all of the Daintree with much of the coastal lowland tropical rainforest from the Daintree River to Cape Tribulation remaining unprotected. This is why we frequently post about the need to protect the Daintree 💚.

All of our conservation projects are supported by people like YOU. Together, we protect and conserve rainforest biodiversity by applying for Nature Refuge classification, which protects the precious flora and fauna by law, FOREVER.

Show your support - consider becoming a Rainforest Guardian today (send us a message if you have any questions).

#CritterCorner: With long, wispy eyelashes and a vibrant blue face, Southern cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii) is definitely one of the most striking birds in the Daintree 💙.

It`s also known as one of the most dangerous birds. Do you know why?

Its powerful legs, talons and dinosaur-like appearance instil fear in many. Indeed, picking a fight with this giant bird would be unwise and dangerous. However, cassowaries are not predators. Those powerful legs help them run fast through a dense rainforest. But they are not here to chase you (unless they feel threatened).

The Daintree is the Southern Cassowaries home. So when you enter it, be CASS-O-WARY - stay safe and enjoy this magical critter from a distance.

Learn more about cassowaries on our website (send us a message if you have any questions) 💚.

At Rainforest Rescue, we recognise the appalling state of forest degradation in our country. We recognise the importance of trees as the very fabric of the complex ecosystems that hold so much of Australia’s biodiversity. We also recognise that we have no time to waste.

Trees are the answer to our climate challenges – along with reduction in land clearing and curbing emissions. The science is loud and clear. 🌱💚🌳

Two of the simplest ways we can address the climate crisis is to STOP DEFORESTATION happening in the first place and then to actively RESTORE and REFOREST.

Sometimes it’s important to pull together and to speak with one voice for our concerns to be heard.

The @bobbrownfoundation has organised Nation Wide Forest Action from 10 - 19th August. Don`t get depressed, get active!

#CritterCorner: Known as Jalbil, ‘Boyd’s Forest Dragon (Hypsilurus boydii) is a living dinosaur that does not bask in the sun, instead letting its body temperature fluctuate with air temperature (thermoconforming rather than thermoregulating) 🦎💚.

The one possible exception to this general rule is pregnant females, which are often observed sitting on or beside forest roads and exhibit elevated body temperatures.

Keep your eyes on the tree trunks when hiking through the Daintree, as this dragon can be found about head height up a tree. When approached, they will move slowly to the other side of the tree trunk with a minimal amount of movement to avoid detection (a very impressive slow-mo effect).
