Conservation Value
The Daintree Rainforest is home to an amazing variety of plants and animals. Many of these are ‘endemic’ to the region meaning that they are found nowhere else on the planet.
Current Threats
The World Heritage Area does not extend to all of the Daintree with much of the coastal lowland tropical rainforest remaining unprotected from development & fragmentation.
History of Development
