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 β€˜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.

  • β€œWe sleep so much better at night knowing that we have partners like Rainforest Rescue doing so much amazing work to protect our rainforest and planet. Our customers continue to be inspired by the difference you’re making and thank us for donating to your work.”

    Mike Halligan, Co-Founder, Scratch
  • β€œI think business is about a lot more than just making money. A big part of it for me is to make sure we are helping to make the world a better place. Our customers love that their purchase is making a tangible difference to the world around them.”

    Justin Snyder, Founder, Forest Super Foods
  • β€œKlorane strives to sustainably preserve natural environments as we harness their power for our dermo-cosmetic brand. Our continued partnership with Rainforest Rescue allows us to deploy our Group Climate Strategy in Australia and is an excellent demonstration of Klorane's environmental commitment at a local level. We are proud to contribute to the valiant conservation efforts to protect the Daintree Rainforest, and promote tangible change in rejuvenating native plants and wildlife and supporting First Nations communities in care and ownership of their traditional lands”

  • β€œWe’re a global travel business operating in all parts of the globe. More than that, however, is the fact that critical wildlife areas know no border, and so nor do we when searching for strong, impactful projects in support of nature and biodiversity. Several of our travel brands, Contiki, AAT Kings and Adventure World, have passionate teams based in Australia with long histories of doing business there, and so it all came together to be a wonderful fit. Our commitment to reaching net zero as a group means that alongside our focus on decarbonization, we must prioritize and support solutions that work with nature’s own technologies to mitigate climate change. We are so proud to be able to support the restoration of the Daintree Rainforest and its wildlife corridors through Rainforest Rescue’s efforts.”

    Shannon Guihan, Chief Sustainability Officer & Head of Treadright
  • β€œPartnering with Rainforest Rescue has become more than an extension of our environmental missionβ€”it has allowed us to amplify the positive impact we can achieve. While our core focus remains on sustainable innovations within our products and operations, working with Rainforest Rescue lets us step beyond our own boundaries. Through this collaboration, we contribute to lasting conservation and support credible, impactful rainforest restoration efforts. Together, we’re not just protecting land; we’re preserving biodiversity and creating a legacy for future generations.”

Cassowaries are known to eat the fruit of at least 238 species of which 149 are woody trees. 45 of these plants have large fruit that are mostly dispersed by the Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii) over long distances, making it a very special bird πŸ’š.⁠

The Traditional Owners of the northern Queensland rainforest areas are the Kuku Yalanji People – with the Daintree Coast (and within that the Daintree Rainforest) being just one part of Eastern Kuku Yalanji country β€οΈπŸ’›πŸ–€β 
⁠
Often referred to as the Rainforest People, the Kuku Yalanji people have lived in the area for more than 50,000 years.⁠
⁠
The Daintree Rainforest – and the area more broadly – is both culturally and spiritually significant to the traditional owners, with many places of spiritual significance:⁠

It`s International Day Of Forests and this years theme is `Forests and Food` πŸ’š.⁠
⁠
Forests are pillars of global food security and nutrition, they are also the livelihoods of millions of families. They provide food and energy, support agriculture, regulate climate, conserve biodiversity, and supply freshwater to more than 85% of the worlds major cities. ⁠

The Daintree rainforest contains an almost complete record of the evolution of plant life on Earth and has more ancient families of flowering plants than anywhere else in the world, including the entire Amazon jungle 🌳🌿🌼. ⁠
⁠
Approximately half of the rainforest`s lowlands has been cleared since European settlement: www.rainforestrescue.org.au/history-of-development-in-the-daintree 😲. ⁠
⁠
The remaining rainforest is of exceptionally high biodiversity and conservation value: www.rainforestrescue.org.au/conservation-value-of-the-daintree πŸ’š.⁠

One of the most exciting aspects of tropical rainforest restoration is the knowledge and data that comes with the resurgence of restored habitat πŸ€“πŸ”ŽπŸŒΏ. ⁠
⁠
Our team is currently working in conjunction with James Cook University to better understand rainforest plants` capability to adapt to changing climatic conditions. These insights help us improve our tree planting decision-making and effective use of donor funding for essential restoration work. ⁠
⁠
In rainforest restoration, selecting seeds from local sources has been the standard approach, based on the idea that local plants are best adapted to local conditions. However, with rapid climate change, local seeds may not always thrive as conditions shift. We`re testing an alternative approach, trying to adapt to the changing climatic conditions together with the rainforest 🌴🌳. ⁠

#CritterCorner: The Australian Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius johnsonii) is a direct descendent of the dinosaurs πŸ¦•πŸŒΏ. ⁠
⁠
Their feet and respiratory structures are similar to those of theropods and their breeding behaviour is thought to have much in common with some groups of dinosaurs.⁠
⁠
Cassowaries are part of the ratite family, an ancient group of flightless birds which also includes the emu, ostrich, kiwi and rhea .⁠

It`s World Wildlife Day πŸ’š, a moment to recognise the importance of the world`s contributions to sustainability, conservation, and biodiversity.⁠
⁠
One of our favourite creatures in Far North Queensland, the Spectacled Flying Fox (Pteropus conspicillatus), plays a vital role in the rainforest ecosystem 🌳.⁠
⁠
In the complex web of nature, every living being, from tiny insects to majestic mammals, has a crucial role to play. Unfortunately, this delicate balance is often disrupted. The primary threats to these rainforest pollinators include habitat loss due to development, culling (with permits issued by the QLD Government), and climate change. Recently, extreme temperatures in Far North Queensland led to a significant number of these megabats succumbing to the heat.⁠
⁠
Rainforest Rescue is proud to partner with NightWings Rainforest Centre to protect these essential pollinators: hwww.rainforestrescue.org.au/critter-corner-spectacled-flying-fox (link in bio) πŸ¦‡πŸ¦‡πŸ¦‡.⁠

#CritterCorner: Azure Kingfishers (Alcedo azurea) are never far from water. They are often seen inhabiting creek banks, swamps, lakes, tidal estuaries and mangroves - keep your eyes peeled πŸ’™πŸ‘€. ⁠

The Daintree is home to 18% of all bird species, all of which rely on the trees, plants, berries, nectar, water, creeks and clean air of the rainforest. We need your help to protect these magnificent birds by protecting the Daintree, now and for generations to come. ⁠

"We urgently need an intervention of some kind to ensure there’s a riparian zone" says David White, founder of ecotour Solar Whisper Wildlife and Crocodile Cruises 🐊. ⁠
⁠
David believes that the river here, in the Daintree, is the gateway and the meeting place of the Great Barrier Reef and the oldest rainforest on Earth; and we’re not treating it accordingly. We need to take action that is in the best interest for First Nations people, wildlife, tourism, community, and the general public. Protecting the waterways is about surviving and thriving. For everyone! ⁠

The Daintree Rainforest holds a myriad of incredible animalsΒ πŸ’š. One third of Australia`s 315 mammal species call the Daintree Rainforest home, 13 of which cannot be found anywhere else in the world such as Bennett’s tree-kangaroos and Spotted-tail quolls.

In fact, the Daintree is reported to house:

🟒30% of Australia’s frog, reptile, and marsupial species
🟒65% of Australia’s bat and butterfly species
🟒18% of all bird species (including our personal favourite, the Southern Cassowary)
🟒12,000 insect species

In celebration of our 25th anniversary, we want to share with you 25 rare or threatened animal species of the Daintree Rainforest.

Do you recognise them? Do you know any others you`d like to spotlight?
