Protecting vital rainforest regions Our partnership with Rainforest Rescue Sadly, rainforests are under constant threat from development and climate change. As part of our grants program this year, we were able to donate $20,000 to Rainforest Rescue specifically to enable land purchase and restoration of 4,000 square metres of unprotected Daintree Lowland Rainforest. So far, 34 properties have been saved by Rainforest Rescue in the Daintree Lowlands, where they now remain forever protected. The Daintree is the most biodiverse place in Australia, so protecting this land is a unique opportunity that also extends protection to thousands of species of wildlife. Fortunately, all of Rainforest Rescue’s properties 100% IN SUPPORT OF survived the recent bushfires, but it is crucial to keep protecting these vulnerable areas to prevent future disaster. Research shows that healthy rainforests repel fire whereas rainforests that have been disturbed by BUSHFIRE RECOVERY & logging and other “management” practices are a lot more likely to BE
affected by bushfires.
