Daintree Life Revegetation, Australia

Our project restores key areas like old service roads and weedy reserves to increase habitat for wildlife such as Southern Cassowaries and Bennetts Tree-kangaroos. We select sites based on access, community input, and their potential for creating wildlife corridors. Our goal is to plant 500,000 indigenous trees by 2030, with nearly 20,000 already planted since 2018 to help regenerate the Daintree Rainforest.

A few days ago Tree Nation received a question from one of our online followers about the toxicity of the species Melia azedarach and its potential harm to humans and animals.

Here is the answer we received from Daintree Life:

Melia azedarach is indeed toxic to humans and some introduced animals, but is a vital part of the forest ecosystem in the Australian Wet Tropics region. Interestingly it also has great medicinal properties for burns, acne, etc. It is also a vital food source for our Tube-nosed bats, Nyctimene robinsoni - who love the small fruits.

The wet tropics have well over 2000 species of vascular plants and around one third of those are toxic to humans. Cassowary plums are a good example. Toxic to humans, the large blue fruit are a mainstay in the diet of cassowaries and Spectacled Flying-foxes. Raw Black bean seeds are toxic, but the local indigenous population have developed a way of processing pulp in sea water to make a nutritious safe food. The list goes on, toxic plants make up 30% of our rainforest species.

Thank you Daintree Life for your transparency and great insight on the topic!

Has your project been affected by this news?
"Stand For Trees

This rainforest is called Daintree in Queensland, northern #Australia.

And several days ago, it was handed back over to the Eastern Kuku Yalanji people who have lived there for centuries."

Thank you

Hi Sue. Not at all. We are really happy this has happened and work very closely with the local elders and rangers. They love what we are doing as we are helping 'heal' country.
