The forest of Daintree Life

Daintree Life is planting trees in the heart of the Daintree Rainforest, in tropical north Queensland, Australia - the oldest rainforest on earth. Our aim is to plant 500,000 trees by 2030, to increase habitat and food resource for our iconic wildlife, such as Southern Cassowaries, Bennetts Tree-kangaroos, and a myriad of wildlife, some of which is found no where else on earth. We started planting in November 2018 and have already planted 7000 trees.
