I need to raise $25,000 as soon as possible. Can you help?
It's not illegal for Daintree property owners to develop their blocks for housing. All they need is development approval from the Douglas Shire Council.
That's because in 1982, the Queensland government approved a 1,136-lot rural residential subdivision in the Daintree. This resulted in two-thirds of the Daintree Lowland Rainforest being excluded from protection in the Daintree National Park and Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.

Over the past five years, we have purchased a Daintree Rainforest property for conservation every 8 weeks.
That's a total of 32 Daintree Rainforest properties in five years, thanks to thousands of generous donors.
It's an amazing achievement and a significant outcome for the conservation of the world's oldest rainforest.
