It's not every day that you can say you've helped to save Threatened species however that's true for our generous donors today. 

Today we have announced our fundraising goal for Lot 257 Silver Ash Road has been reached and we can purchase this special property in the Daintree Lowland Rainforest. We are very grateful to everyone who donated to help purchase this property for conservation.

Lot 257 Silver Ash Road is covered in Tropical Rainforest

Lot 257 Silver Ash Road is the first Daintree property we've purchased for 2022. Thanks again to everyone who made this possible through their generous donations. In 2021 we purchased 12 Daintree Rainforest properties for conservation! That was an amazing outcome and one we are aiming to repeat in 2022. 

Thank you to fellow non-profit HalfCut and their supporters for again making a great contribution to the fundraising for this property.

Next up is Lot 93 Cape Tribulation Road at Diwan 

We are continuing to raise the funds for the purchase of Lot 93 Cape Tribulation Road. The target to purchase and protect this property is $404,500. So far we've raised $43,556 leaving us with the remaining target of $360,944

The high biodiversity and threatened species on Lot 93 Cape Tribulation Road at Diwan have identified this property as our highest priority for acquisition. Our vegetation survey identified an amazing 258 species of native plants, including 5 threatened species and 4 more that are endemic to the Daintree Rainforest. 

This beautiful rainforest is deserving of protection. However, it was not included in the Daintree National Park declared in 1988 and it remains a freehold property zoned for development. We’ve taken many photographs of the property which you can see here.

Lot 93 Cape Tribulation Road in the Daintree Lowland Rainforest is 8.09-hectares in size. We are raising $404,500 for its purchase and protection. At $5 per sqm, this represents exceptional value for your investment in nature conservation.  

Please, donate now to help purchase and protect Lot 93 Cape Tribulation Road in the Daintree Lowland Rainforest. Each $5.00 you donate will purchase and protect one sqm of the Lowland Daintree Rainforest.  

Thanks for everything you do to help Save the Daintree Rainforest.
