Right now you can double the impact you make with a donation to purchase and protect Lot 34 Cape Tribulation Road in the Daintree Rainforest. 

One of our leadership team of donors has provided a gift of $50,000 to establish a special Matching Gift Challenge. They saw the urgent need for the purchase of Lot 34 Cape Tribulation Road in the heart of the Daintree Lowland Rainforest and wanted to inspire other to donate. 

Now every dollar you donate for the purchase and protection of Lot 34 will be matched - dollar for dollar. This is a fantastic opportunity to double the impact of your gift so please donate now.

This special Matching Gift Challenge will raise $100,000 for the purchase and protection of Lot 34 Cape Tribulation Road. This property is zoned by the Douglas Shire Council for development. It's also the habitat for the Endangered Southern Cassowary and 195 species of native plants. 

Please, donate now and help purchase Lot 34 Cape Tribulation Road in the Daintree Rainforest. 

Your gift will make 2x the impact and help save the Daintree Rainforest from the threat of development.

Urgent- help purchase and protect Lot 34 Cape Tribulation Road 

Lot 34 Cape Tribulation Road also provides habitat for the Buff-breasted Paradise Kingfisher and the Orange-footed Scrub Fowl. Our ecologist and botanist has produced a written report on the vegetation at Lot 34 Cape Tribulation Road which is summerised here. 

Daintree Rainforest properties are mostly sold on the open market. We have managed to purchase 26 Daintree properties for conservation, but we are not the only interested party. There is competition from people who would purchase land in the world’s oldest rainforest and develop it for housing.  

To prevent the development of Lot 34 Cape Tribulation Road we acted quickly. Now that we've exchanged a contract of sale we need your help. We need to raise $300,000 to purchase, protect, and restore Lot 34 Cape Tribulation Road. 

With the Matching Gift Challenge in place, every $5 you donate will purchase one square metre of Daintree Rainforest. If you donate $25 you will help purchase five square metres of essential Cassowary habitat! A donation of $50 will help purchase ten square metres and $100 will help purchase twenty square metres of the World Heritage value Daintree Rainforest.

Lot 34 in the landscape 

A subdivision in the 1980s impacted two-thirds of the Daintree Lowland Rainforest creating 1,136 freehold blocks and 50 km of roads. Our successful buyback program is helping to piece it back together.

We’ve already purchased three blocks close to Lot 34 which is also a short distance from the Daintree National Park. Last year we purchased Lot 85 Cape Tribulation Road and Lot 110 Palm Road. This year purchased Lot 93 Cape Tribulation Road.

All gifts will be matched to help us purchase and protect this at-risk property in the Daintree Lowland Rainforest. 

We have purchased 26 Daintree Rainforest properties but we can't stop now. We need your help, please, donate now.

The first $50,000 donated to this project is being matched by our leadership team of philanthropic donors! Double your impact by donating now and helping raise the first $100,000. 

With the Matching Gift Challenge in place, every $5 you donate will purchase one square metre of Daintree Rainforest. If you donate $25 you will help purchase five square metres of essential Cassowary habitat! A donation of $50 will help purchase ten square metres and $100 will help purchase twenty square metres of the World Heritage value Daintree Rainforest.

The need to protect and restore the habitat for the Endangered Southern Cassowary is the reason we’ve chosen Lot 34 Cape Tribulation Road as the next property to purchase. 

The purchase of properties like Lot 34 prevents development. That prevents fragmentation of the rainforest and settlement which brings more traffic on local roads, the introduction of domestic pets that prey on wildlife, and exotic plants that become weeds. Winding back the disastrous subdivision helps protect the most biodiverse ecosystem in Australia.

The Endangered Southern Cassowary  

The Musky Rat-kangaroo is found in the Daintree Lowland Rainforest. They are endemic to the rainforests of northeastern Australia. They weigh about 500 grams and bound rather than hop, traveling on all fours like a rabbit. They eat insects, leaves, and the fruit of rainforest trees that have fallen to the ground.

We've taken many photos of these at-risk properties. Please see the photos of Lot 34 Cape Tribulation Road here.

Our vision for the Daintree Lowland Rainforest requires the buyback of all undeveloped freehold properties in the Daintree Lowland Rainforest and their management for nature conservation. With the help of thousands of people, in Australia and around the world we've raised the funds to purchase 26 properties. Now we need to save Lot 34 Cape Tribulation Road from the threat of development and all that is needed is your support.

Please, join me and make a donation to purchase and protect this important Daintree Rainforest property.
