Thanks to the generous contributions of thousands of donors last weekend we reached our goal of raising the $220,875 to purchase and protect Lot 155 in the Daintree Lowland Rainforest. This ensures this important property won't be developed for housing and essential habitat for the endangered Cassowary will be protected forever. The settlement on the property has been scheduled for October. All further funds received this week will be used to pay the deposit on the purchase of another property which we will announce soon. Thank you once again to all of the wonderful donors!

Planting trees provides hope of a positive future for Wildlife, Climate, People, and the Planet. Over the last month, we've been busy planting trees at four locations in Far North Queensland and Northern New South Wales.  

On the 3^rd of June, we launched an appeal to purchase and protect an extremely important Daintree Rainforest property at Lot 155 Cape Tribulation Road. We are getting closer to our goal of raising $220,875 thanks to the support of many wonderful donors and some special new partners. 

Our rainforest regeneration project across fire-impacted Huonbrook, Wanganui and Upper Wilsons Creek, in Northern NSW has received a significant boost thanks to a grant from the inGrained Foundation. For the next twelve months, this will enable our Rainforest Rangers to and engage residents, landowners, volunteers, in mitigating the risk of future bushfire through tree planting, weed control, and increasing biodiversity.

Our efforts to tackle ‘highly-flammable’ exotic bamboo to protect koala and rainforest habitat from future bushfire has received a financial boost from WIRES and Landcare Australia. 

If we act now, we can save an extremely important Daintree Rainforest property that provides habitat for the endangered Cassowary and an amazing 240 species of plants. We’ll also reverse the impact of the disastrous rural residential subdivision that carved up two-thirds of the Daintree Lowland Rainforest into freehold properties.

Ecologist and botanist Kristopher Kupsch surveyed Lot 155 Cape Tribulation Road in the Daintree Lowland Rainforest in February 2020 finding 240 species of plants on the 8.835 hectares, which included seven of conservation importance. This confirmed the property as our number one priority for acquisition and inclusion in the Daintree National Park. 

Our Rainforest Rangers are helping the residents and landowners at Huonbrook and Wanganui in the Byron Shire recover from the bushfires and prepare for the future.
