🗒️ Meet Austrobaileya scandens - one of Australia’s most ancient flowering plants!⁠
⁠
This incredible species grows only in the Wet Tropics and is the sole survivor of its entire plant family, tracing its lineage back millions of years.⁠
⁠
During a survey of the Atherton Tablelands, our botanist, Kristopher Kupsch, spotted this special plant beneath the rainforest canopy.⁠
⁠
Pretty amazing to think that while the world has been continuously changing, this ancient rainforest lineage is still quietly thriving today 💚🌿⁠

Up in the misty mountains of Far North Queensland, the rainforest feels a little different ☁️🌿

Cool, wet cloud forests create refuge for some extraordinary wildlife, including tree-kangaroos, ringtail possums and species found only in this part of the world.

As temperatures rise, these cooler pockets of rainforest become even more precious. Keeping them protected and connected gives wildlife more room to move, adapt and persist.

Some places are simply too important to lose.

A healthy rainforest is busy doing a lot more than we can see 🌿 Trees are storing carbon, roots are holding soil in place, waterways are being shaded and cooled, and countless species are interacting to keep the ecosystem functioning.

As our climate changes, protecting these complex, connected ecosystems becomes even more important.

Because the stronger and more connected these landscapes are, the better chance they have to face what comes next.

One of our favourite flowers and flowering plants we’ve captured in the Daintree Rainforest this year 🌸🌿

The beautiful Red Beech (Dillenia alata)!

Its large flowers may be short-lived, but they’re followed by striking fruits in shades of red, white and black, making this coastal rainforest tree just as interesting after flowering.

🌿 This is what bringing rainforest back looks like. One tree at a time, we’re restoring cleared and degraded land in the Daintree with native rainforest species, creating habitat and helping the forest grow back where it belongs.

Some of these trees will be here long after us. And that’s exactly the point! 💚

❤️ In Kelvin’s hands is a fallen leaf of the Bleeding Heart (Homalanthus populifolius), one of the rainforest’s key recovery species. Fast-growing and quick to establish, it’s often among the first plants to return after disturbance.

This one is growing on a restoration site in the Big Scrub, helping bring rainforest back to one of Australia’s most cleared landscapes.
Its large leaves help shade and protect young seedlings, creating the conditions for the forest to rebuild 🌱

Rainbow Bee-eaters (Merops ornatus) are incredible aerial hunters, catching bees and other flying insects mid-flight before returning to a favourite perch.

Seeing native birds like this around the landscapes where we work is part of what makes protecting and restoring habitat so important. Our work in Northern NSW is helping bring native vegetation back, reconnect habitat and create healthier landscapes for wildlife, from the smallest insects to colourful visitors like this one.

It’s hard to imagine today, but the Big Scrub once covered about 75,000 hectares of Northern NSW, forming Australia's largest expanse of subtropical lowland rainforest. Today, less than 1% remains.

Those surviving patches are incredibly important, but protecting what’s left is only part of the story.

Here in Northern NSW, we are working to bring rainforest back to life. Through our restoration projects and tree planting, we’re growing local native species, restoring cleared and degraded land and helping reconnect habitat.

We can’t bring back the Big Scrub exactly as it was, but every restored patch of rainforest creates more space for the plants and wildlife that belong here. 🌱

What a way to celebrate World Cassowary Day!
⁠
Thanks to your generosity, and a whole community giving alongside you, yesterday's Giving Day raised more than $35,500 to purchase, protect and restore priority cassowary habitat in the Daintree.
⁠
Cassowaries play a vital role in keeping the rainforest healthy, dispersing the seeds of many native plants as they move through the landscape. Protecting their habitat also protects the incredible web of life that depends on this rainforest.⁠
⁠⁠
A huge thank you to everyone who donated, shared and supported cassowary habitat this Giving Day 💚⁠

🐦️ Today's the day. Giving Day is here!⁠
⁠
Until midnight AEST tonight, every donation to protect Southern Cassowary habitat in the Daintree will be matched dollar-for-dollar. $1 = $2.⁠
⁠
🌿 You'll help protect irreplaceable habitat for the Southern Cassowary, and other species that calls the Daintree home.⁠
🌿 You'll help keep the rainforest connected, so wildlife can move safely through it instead of crossing roads to survive.⁠
