Daintree Rainforest Foundation LTD – 99 158 520 499 – Founded 27 April 2016
In contrast with the majority of charities campaigning to ‘Save the Daintree Rainforest’ from thousands of kilometres away, Daintree Rainforest Foundation LTD operates exclusively within the Daintree World Heritage environment and constitutionally must perform its functions in a way that is consistent with the protection of inhabitant people, who are not only constituent parts of the legislated definition of ‘environment’, they are also its primary caretakers and exclusive repository of local knowledge.
For all of its universal significance, the only portion of Daintree Rainforest that can be influenced by charity, is that small but significant part held under private ownership. The vast majority of the landscape (around 95%) is publicly-owned National Park and well and truly inscribed into World Heritage-listing and therefore out of management reach of any charity. In loyal support of the custodial community, Daintree Rainforest Foundation LTD resides and operates within the environment it campaigns to protect.
