We know this rainforest is extraordinary.
But there is still so much we don’t know.
Which species are thriving?
Which are struggling?
How are changing conditions affecting them?
How do species depend on one another?
And what can we do to help protect them?
These are the questions that rainforest research helps us explore.
Within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, research is helping us uncover more about the unique species, ecosystems and relationships that make this place so unique. This National Threatened Species Day, we’re recognising the researchers who are helping us discover more about the rainforest and the species that depend on it.🔬🍃
