Create a Nature Conservation Reserve on Lot 46

With your help we’re continuing to see more wildlife return to the regenerated Lot 46, with an increased number of sightings of endangered Southern Cassowaries. Years after the removal of 200 tons of rubbish and the planting of 45,000 trees to regenerate Lot 46, this property is proving it is successfully playing a vital role in providing safe corridors and habitats for the endangered, rare and precious flora and fauna.

The Southern Cassowary is an extremely important species in Far North Queensland’s tropical rainforests. It is the rainforest gardener, a ‘keystone species’ that maintains the balance and diversity of its rainforest home through its role as a seed disperser. Recent research has shown that the main threat to the Southern Cassowary is actually the availability of this safe habitat. You have enabled us to provide more of this safe habitat through your support of Lot 46 – so thank you again.

In terms of the seedlings planted, Lot 46 still does not cease to surprise the Rainforest Rescue team with the unbelievable rate of growth of these trees. The first picture here shows a newly planted seedling – from only 6 weeks prior – and it has already shot up to a tall height in the near perfect wet and hot conditions.

Your support in helping us to continue to protect Lot 46 is gratefully appreciated. Rainforest Rescue’s largest regeneration success – thanks to your support. From the far north QLD Daintree rainforests to the rest of our team across Australia we thank you so very much.

Thank you for helping us Protect Rainforest Forever.
