LOT 41 IS A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF INTACT DAINTREE RAINFOREST

Because of you, it will be protected forever.

Thanks to your support, we have doubled the size of the protected area in the Cape Kimberley Wildlife Corridor.

The Daintree is one of the most significant ecosystems in the world. It is a living museum and a place of profound and unique beauty which we must protect and conserve. This region of the wet tropics contains some of the greatest biodiversity of flora, fauna and includes many of the most unique animals in the world.

Lot 41 Cape Tribulation Rd, Kimberley is a stunning example of intact Daintree rainforest… 

The 18.6 ha property is like being in a giant cathedral. It’s a place of spiritual connectivity. A place where you feel more in touch with your own nature—our true, spiritual nature—and in utter awe of nature’s beauty.

The previous owner of Lot 41, Tony, has lived here for over 20 years. Sadly, his wife Cheryll passed away in 2022.

For many years, Tony and Cheryll were working to make their property a nature refuge, however, with Cheryll’s passing, Tony came to us and wanted to ensure that the property is protected forever when, one day, he passes away.

Under the terms of the purchase, Tony will have the option of continuing to live on the property and be its custodian, effectively continuing the legacy of both Cheryll and himself.

We are truly humbled by this.

BY HELPING US TO PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY YOU HAVE DOUBLED THE AMOUNT OF CONSERVED LAND IN THE CAPE KIMBERLEY WILDLIFE CORRIDOR.

Lot 41 is ideally located right next to the National Park and is adjacent to other Rainforest Rescue properties in the Milky Pine Refuge, which is within the Cape Kimberley Wildlife Corridor. This purchase has further contributed to these properties and enhanced connectivity by expanding the refuge and wildlife corridor.

This purchase is history in the making, both in the significant capital involved, and how this biodiversity-rich property is a significant acquisition for the nature corridor and for the overall environmental protection of the Daintree.

Below is a map showing the existing corridor with Lot 41 outlined in aqua, Rainforest Rescue refuges in red, and other purchased properties in purple.

Thank you for helping us secure Lot 41 and expand the wildlife corridor.

We believe #TreesAreTheAnswer 💚. Our ‘Plant a Rainforest’ projects replant rainforest and re-establish habitat for plants and animals’ endemic to that specific ecosystem. ⁠

Rainforest Rescue`s team collects, propagates and grows all the rainforest trees. Seeds are ethically collected from the Daintree Lowland Rainforest between the Daintree River and Cape Tribulation and the trees are replanted in the same area 🌱🌱🌱.⁠

Our ‘Protect a Rainforest’ project rescues pristine rainforest by purchasing blocks for conservation and protecting them forever, increasing essential wildlife habitat and connectivity, and protecting biodiversity for future generations 🌳🦎🐍🐦💮.⁠

Prospective properties are assessed through a detailed survey undertaken by our Daintree Ecological Advisor, Allen Sheather, and his partner Barbara Maslen.⁠

Rainforest Rescue’s ten-point ‘balanced scorecard’ assessment includes criterion relating to Location, Vegetation, Development Risk, Habitat Potential, Clearing and Value 🔍.⁠

🌍🌳💧 World Wetlands Day 2025: Protecting Wetlands for Our Common Future 💧🌳🌍⁠

Today, we pause to honour the critical role wetlands play in our planet`s health. From providing clean water to supporting biodiversity, wetlands are essential ecosystems - yet, according to the Secretariat of the Convention on Wetlands, we’ve lost nearly 90% of them since the 1700s. It`s time to take action before it’s too late 🌱💧.⁠

In regions like the Daintree, the effects of environmental degradation are already being felt. Recently, David White, founder of @solar_whisper , shared a firsthand account of how rising floodwaters are eroding the riverbanks and wiping out vital wildlife habitats.⁠

This World Wetlands Day, let’s reflect on the urgent need for action. From local efforts to global commitments, it`s clear that protecting wetlands is essential for both nature and communities 🌳🌍.⁠

👉 Read David’s powerful reflections on the Daintree and how we can all play a part in restoring these vital ecosystems www.rainforestrescue.org.au/beyond-the-banks-daintree-river (link in bio).⁠

#CritterCorner: Common Mistfrog (Litoria rheocola) is a rainforest specialist 🐸.⁠

If you are lucky and keep your eyes peeled, you may see it by fast-flowing rocky creeks and streams in the rainforest, as well as wet sclerophyll forests. ⁠

If your eyes don`t spot this beauty, listen in - the Common Mistfrog`s call is quite a unique (and rather nasal) sound of “wreek wreek wreek“. ⁠

“The better time to plant a tree was 25 years ago. The best time is now.”

The Daintree Rainforest’s tropical rainforest ecosystem is one of the most complex on earth, containing the greatest diversity of plants and animals found anywhere in Australia.

Over 3,000 species of plants call the Daintree home, including 13 of the world’s 19 primitive flowering plant species and 395 species that are listed as either rare or threatened.

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

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

#CritterCorner: Hercules Moths (Coscinocera hercules) start out as very hungry and large caterpillars 🐛🦋. And this makes sense, because, as adult moths, they survive on food stores that they ate prior to metamorphosis 🍀🍀🍀🐛.⁠

Hercules Moths spend most of their lives (approx. 3 mths) as caterpillars.⁠
During this time, they live on food plants such as the Bleeding Heart (Homalanthus novoguineensis), Red Bean trees (Dysoxylum mollissimum subsp. molle) and Cheese trees (Glochidion ferdinandi).⁠

#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 💙.⁠
