#ForestFlora: Today we`re shining the spotlight on the beautiful Black Bean tree (Castanospermum australe) 🔦🌳.⁠

This striking rainforest tree has glossy, dark green leaves and wide-spreading branches when grown in the open.⁠

From March to May, it produces huge seed pods - 12–20cm long - that split open to reveal 3–5 massive seeds, each weighing up to 30 grams 🫘.⁠

Discover why this tree holds deep cultural and ecological significance in this #FastFacts video with Dr. Robert Kooyman:⁠

This land tells a powerful story and you can help write its next chapter 🌿.

Nestled beside Eastern Kuku Yalanji-managed Country, Lot 8 is part of a critical rainforest corridor connecting upland and lowland habitats - a lifeline for wildlife like the Southern Cassowary.

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.

YOU can be the force for nature we need 💪🌳.

💚 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.⁠

Today is International Day of Plant Health day 💚. ⁠

We want to help raise global awareness of how protecting plant health can help end hunger, reduce poverty, protect biodiversity and the environment, enriching the lives of everyone on Earth. ⁠

Plants are life. We depend on them for 80% of the food we eat and 98% of the oxygen we breathe. But we lose as much as 40% of crops to pests, setting back global efforts to ensure food security, harming precious biodiversity and impacting economies and livelihoods. This year, the International Day of Plant Health calls on everyone to help raise awareness and take action to keep plants, animals, humans and the environment healthy 💚. ⁠

Cyclone Jasper tested it, but Nature fought back 💚. ⁠

After the 2023 cyclone tore through the region, Lot 8 Idriess Close stood strong. While some ancient trees were lost, native species are already regenerating. And remarkably no invasive weeds have taken hold. ⁠

This is what ecological resilience looks like. This is a rainforest that knows how to heal - if we give it the chance.⁠

Donate today and your gift will be doubled — matched dollar for dollar up to $50,000 thanks to The @treadright Foundation.⁠

Let’s honour this incredible natural comeback with permanent protection: www.rainforestrescue.org.au/lot-8 💚. ⁠

If we’re going to restore more rainforest and help fight climate change, we need to plant more trees. And to plant more trees - we must first grow them 🌱🌳.⁠

Thanks to your incredible support, we’re increasing native tree production in the Daintree! This massive boost will breathe life into new restoration projects, helping the Daintree grow in size and strength - and protecting its unique biodiversity for generations to come.⁠
