We have an opportunity to buy a Daintree Rainforest property covered in beautiful Fan Palms for only $25,000. Lot 305 Cypress Road, Cow Bay is 1 ha in size and is covered by tropical rainforest. Buying and protecting this property will be a fantastic outcome for conservation as it connects to the Daintree National Park and provides vital habitat for the Endangered Southern Cassowary.

We Are Explorers is teaming up with Rainforest 4 Foundation to raise $25,000, purchase a block of land in the Daintree Rainforest, return it to the Daintree National Park and protect it forever. But what’s the Daintree actually like? And what can you do there? We sent Kate up north to find out. 

Kelvin Davies has devoted much of his life to protecting the world’s rainforests. He’s the founder of Rainforest 4 Foundation, and he's been buying land in the Daintree Rainforest for the last twenty years. We Are Explorers, who are just a few days away from kicking off their crowdfunding for Daintree buyback, chatted with Kelvin to find out why it’s so crucial that we protect our rainforests. 

We’ve provided answers to the most frequently asked questions on the purchase and protection of Lot 305 Cypress Road in the Daintree Lowland Rainforest.  

Rainforest 4 Foundation is helping its partners Reforest Now to plant thousands of trees. This month we were at Durrumbul, inland from Byron Bay to help plant another 1,100 rainforest trees!

We Are Explorers is crowdfunding $25,000 to help us purchase and protect one hectare of Daintree Lowland Rainforest. To get things started Kate Stevens from We Are Explorers headed up to see the property with Kelvin Davies and to meet the Traditional Owners, hang out with cassowaries, capture some shots and set to work building out the campaign. Now the countdown to the launch has begun!
