The Daintree, Queensland

42 of the properties protected by Rainforest Rescue can be found in The Daintree in Queensland. The Daintree rainforest is recognised as one of the most ecologically diverse in the world and contains species that have links to ancient lineages – it is of international conservation importance. Rainforest Rescue’s Daintree ‘Save a Rainforest’ Project, identifies and purchases rainforest at risk of development and protects it forever.

All properties are classified as ‘essential habitat’ for the endangered Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii) and are also known habitat for the rare Bennett’s tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus bennettianus). These properties and the surrounding environment are habitat for a variety of filmy ferns, palms and other rare species and regional ecosystem.

Rattler Range, Tasmania

In addition to the Daintree properties protected by Rainforest Rescue, Forest Lodge in Tasmania is a stunning property. It is located on the Rattler Range and is surrounded on three sides by the Mount Victoria State Forest Reserve. This has been designated by the Tasmanian government as a conservation zone. The property was once one of a number of land parcels owned by the timber company Gunns Ltd. but became available for purchase in June 2010 when Gunns Ltd auctioned off 28,000 hectares of land in Tasmania. Rainforest Rescue responded to the request of one of its supporters to investigate the potential to buy some of this land and protect it forever.

The dominant trees on the property are old-growth Myrtle Beech and Sassafras, a feature being the very large number and size of Soft Tree Ferns (Dicksonia Antarctica) that are known in Tasmania as Man Ferns. The Reserve provides suitable habitat for the Tasmania Wedge-tailed Eagle and the Tasmania Devil — an animal that is in great danger of extinction from habitat loss and facial tumour disease. It may also be home to other rare and endangered animals such as the Spotted-Tail Quoll, which is the second largest of the world’s surviving marsupial carnivores.
