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.

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 🌳🌳🌳.

#CritterCorner: The Southern Cassowary's large helmet-like crest (casque) is composed of modified cranial bones made of trabecular bone and cartilage.

Inside of the casque is a honeycombed spongy structure which connects to the ear canals, while the outer layer is usually light to dark brown in colour and resembles the material found on a turtle shell.

Because the casque’s shape and appearance can vary greatly individual cassowaries can often be identified by their unique casque. Do you know its function?

While there is still much debate about the function served by the casque, in 2019 La Trobe University researchers revealed that the casque may be used to help the birds keep cool during Australia’s hot summers.

Danielle Eastick, from the Department of Ecology, Environment and Evolution, measured 20 captive cassowaries across Australia and found that the birds released less heat from the casque in cold weather, and the greatest levels when temperatures hit 36 degrees.

“Our results are quite compelling and it’s highly probable this is what the casque is actually used for,” Ms Eastick said.

Many dinosaurs also had casques, so it’s possible they too helped keep cool this way.
