THE BEST TIME IS NOW TO PROTECT RAINFORESTS FOREVER.
Celebrating 25 years of your support in protecting and restoring rainforests.
Protecting and Restoring Rainforests is Climate Action
How YOU can help
PROTECT A RAINFOREST
Our ‘Protect a Rainforest’ project focuses on purchasing rainforest blocks for conservation and protecting them forever, increasing connectivity and protecting biodiversity.
PLANT A RAINFOREST
Our ‘Plant a Rainforest’ projects replant rainforest and re-establish habitat for plants and animals’ endemic to that specific ecosystem. We believe Trees Are The Answer.
PROPAGATE AND GROW
Rainforest Rescue’s native nursery in Cow Bay propagates and grows all the rainforest trees for our Daintree lowland restoration projects. It’s time to grow!
From little things, big things grow
and look how you’ve helped rainforests grow since 1999!

110 CAPE TRIBULATION RD – A NEW ERA OF RESTORATION
110 Cape Tribulation Rd is 75 acres of former sugarcane land consisting of around 12.5 acres of naturally regenerated habitat and 62.5 acres that can be restored. Perfect for replanting a rainforest, one seedling at a time. Help us rescue, restore and protect 110 Cape Tribulation Rd.
25 YEARS PROTECTING & RESTORING RAINFORESTS
In 1999, our founders set out to protect the under-protected rainforest in Australia. What matters then still matters now. Rainforests are biodiverse, ecologically rich habitats that are important to our planet’s health. To borrow a phrase, “The better time to plant a tree was 25 years ago. The best time is now.”
2025 ANNUAL COMMUNITY TREE PLANTING DAY
Rainforest Rescue’s 2025 Annual Community Tree Planting Day is scheduled for Saturday 17th May 2025 and you’re invited!
This event will mark the end of an era as we plant out the final plot at NightWings Rainforest Centre.

#CritterCorner: One of the favourite creatures of Far North Queensland, the Spectacled Flying Fox is an essential part of the rainforest’s web of life 🦇🦇🦇.
These very important rainforest pollinators and gardeners are losing their habitat through development, culling, and climate change.
Together with NightWings Rainforest and Bat Rehabilitation centre, we are restoring legacy cane plantation to bat-friendly rainforest habitat.

Tucked away in the remote northeast of Tasmania, Forest Lodge is an untouched pocket of ancient cool temperate rainforest—over 3,500 km away from the Daintree Rainforest in far-north Queensland, yet equally deserving of protection 🌏.
The reasons for rescuing this property back in 2011 were eerily similar to those affecting the Daintree at the time. It’s these parallels that continue to inspire us, and why Forest Lodge remains a well-loved (if a little distant) part of Rainforest Rescue’s mission 💚.
Home to endangered species like the Tasmanian Devil and Spotted-tailed Quoll, Forest Lodge has been safeguarded thanks to supporters of Rainforest Rescue 🌳.

#CritterCorner: one of the smallest and most dazzling kingfishers in Australia, the Azure Kingfisher (Ceyx azureus) is often found in the Daintree. Have you seen one 👀?
They are easily identified by their deep blue feathers, distinct white spots on the sides of their necks, some blue-violet streaks on the breast area and flanks, and red feet with only two forward toes. The sexes are visually similar, while the young birds have a darker cap and are their colours are generally duller.
Keep your eyes peeled in the rainforest 💙.

#CritterCorner: Although they are not the flying and fire breathing kind, Boyd’s forest dragons (Lophosaurus boydii, formerly Hypsilurus boydii) are the beautiful rainforest reptiles endemic to the Wet Tropics of Far North Queensland 🦎💚.
It`s likely they arrived from Southeast Asia when a land bridge to New Guinea existed during an ice age (roughly 20,000 years ago).

In an exciting and vital conservation effort, we`ve recently received a batch of Syzygium glenum seeds from the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden in Coffs Harbour. This species, listed as endangered, is a rare gem in the plant world and holds a significant place in the delicate ecosystems of Australia’s rainforests 🌱💚🌳.
This incredible contribution is thanks to two specimens they received from Lyndley Craven. One of these trees is now fruiting, allowing for the collection of viable seeds. It`s a testament to the collaboration between botanic gardens, nurseries, and conservation groups in preserving Australia’s native flora.
