We are thrilled to share the wonderful news that Lot 68 Forest Creek Road in the Daintree Rainforest has been successfully purchased and will now be protected forever—thanks to the generosity of hundreds of donors.
This is great outcome for nature conservation and for everyone who gave so generously to make it possible. Lot 68 Forest Creek Road is located at Forest Creek in the Daintree Lowland Rainforest. It is part of a vital corridor linking mangrove-lined wetlands to the upland rainforests of the Alexandra Range and Thornton Peak. Its strategic location allows wildlife to move freely across the landscape, preserving genetic diversity and strengthening the ecological resilience of the Daintree Rainforest. The property adjoins the Daintree National Park (CYPAL) and a previously purchased property at Lot 70 Forest Creek Road.
Why Lot 68 Matters
-
It strengthens ecological corridors, connecting coastal and mountain landscapes
-
Provides vital habitat for threatened species, including the Southern Cassowary
-
Contributes to the growing network of protected properties, following the purchase of 34 other Daintree properties in just 6 years.
What Happens Next
-
Lot 68 will enter the Pathway to Protection, working toward inclusion in the Daintree National Park (CYPAL) estate.
-
Ecological restoration will begin—removing an caravan left behind by a previous owner, weed control, and encouraging natural regeneration.
This is another demonstration that land buyback works—and you made it happen.
Thank you for being part of this historic win. We look forward to keeping you updated as Lot 68 flourishes back into the thriving rainforest it was always meant to be.
For our rainforests,
