Welcome to Daintree
The Daintree Rainforest north of Cairns in Tropical Far
North Queensland Australia is one of the most diverse and
beautiful examples of Mother Nature in the world. It is home to
the largest range of plants
and animals
on earth, and all are found within the largest chunk of
rainforest in Australia - an area spanning approximately 1200
square kilometres.
This World Heritage Listed area contains the highest number
of plant and animal species that are rare, or threatened with
extinction, anywhere in the world. The Daintree
Rainforest is a unique area, precariously balanced between
the advances of development and the warnings of
environmentalists.
The Daintree Rainforest contains 30% of frog,
marsupial and reptile species in Australia, and 65% of
Australia's bat and butterfly species. 20% of bird species in
the country can be found in this area. And it all lives in an
area that takes up 0.2% of the landmass of Australia.
The Daintree
Rainforest's addition to the
World Heritage List in 1988 in recognition of its
universal natural values highlighted the rainforest as
being:
- An outstanding example
of the major stages in the earth's evolutionary
history
- An outstanding example
of significant ongoing ecological and biological
processes
- An example of
superlative natural phenomena, and
- Containing important
and significant habitats for conservation of biological
diversity.
The Daintree
Rainforest is over one hundred and thirty-five million
years old – the oldest in the world. Approximately 430 species
of birds live among the trees, including 13 species that are
found nowhere else in the world.
