Purchase and Protect Forever Endangered Rainforest

Thanks to supporters like you, who care about nature and rainforests, we are now officially more than HALF WAY towards securing our 32nd unprotected Daintree Rainforest property, the 3rd of our #NEXT10 campaign as we near the end of 2018! 

This rich, prospective rescue property scored high on our ecological scorecard, connects to protected reserves and provides clean, clear water that makes its way to the Great Barrier Reef. This land would be snapped up quickly if it made it to the open market as it's fairly large, very beautiful and has access to power. And remember - a high ecological score means nothing to a developer. Hopefully given this momentum, we will ensure this does not happen!

I thought you might enjoy joining us in this world of rescuing rainforests, so we made this brief video on our initial assessment of this special and under threat rainforest property.

Your support has empowered us to increase the number of protected areas of the Daintree. Together we have, and will continue to, help protect the amazing wild animals of the Daintree like the Southern Cassowary, Musky-rat Kangaroo, Spotted-tail Quoll and so many more. Rescuing rainforest, establishing Nature Refuge status, restoring degraded ecosystems - this is what we do, and we love to share with you.

You protect the rainforests with us. We rescue rainforests because you make it possible.

For the rainforests,

the Team at Rainforest Rescue

Thanks to those of you who supported this effort with meaningful contributions to our mid-year appeal, we have saved Lot 2, Forest Creek Road - the 2nd property of our #next10 campaign! You made this possible because you care about Nature and the magnificent Daintree Rainforest. We can now add another property and its rainforest habitat to our protected list!

This unique rainforest comprises almost 4 hectares and is located on and above steep hill slopes--making this an especially high conservation value property as it contributes to clear, fresh water runoff from its steep slopes. Unprotected degraded lands produce runoff high in sediment when it rains, producing negative ecosystem consequences. As such, this property has a direct positive impact on the Great Barrier Reef which receives runoff through the Daintree's waterways.

Its contribution to our growing protected rainforest areas and their impact on the well-being of the reef is another example of why this work is so important. Protecting intact habitat and promoting healthy ecosystems is one of our primary missions. And with your support we are making a real and significant difference to both these remarkable World Heritage ecosystems.

Because of the hundreds of individual donations that were made towards this effort from committed supporters, we were able to protect this remarkable property. Buyback of these pristine environments, which are slated for development and/or logging, is the single most effective way of protecting these areas and their biodiversity forever. To those of you who supported this appeal and helped to Buyback Lot 2 Forest Creek Rd - Thank you for helping to Protect Rainforests Forever!!
