As a guest of Parrotfish Lodge you are supporting our Conservation Partnership with the Daintree Rainforest Foundation.

Through this Partnership a critical corridor for fauna such as Cassowary, Spotted-tailed Quoll, and Bennett's Tree Kangaroo will be purchased and preserved in perpetuity.

The Daintree truly is the heart and soul of the Wet Tropics.

Although surrounded by the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, the Coastal Lowland Tropical Rainforests of Daintree River to Cape Tribulation remain unprotected and endangered.

The Daintree Coastal Lowland Tropical Rainforests are of international conservation importance as one of the most significant regional ecosystems in the World. They record the eight major stages of the evolution of land plants and in particular the origin, evolution and dispersal of the flowering plants (angiosperms).

Within the context of the Wet Tropics of Australia, the Daintree Rainforests are the last extensive areas of lowland rainforest still linked as a continuum with the main upland rainforest massif to the west. This connectivity is integral to the long term integrity and sustainability of both these forests and their fauna.

The Daintree Rainforests are a critical habitat for the endangered Cassowary. They are also vital habitat for the primitive Musky Rat-kangaroo, the rare Bennett's Tree Kangaroo, endangered Spotted-tailed Quoll, and a myriad of smaller creatures little known to science.

Parrotfish Lodge has also purchased and protected a 44-hectare (100 acre) property containing, or providing habitat for, flora and fauna listed as rare or threatened under Queensland conservation legislation. The habitats, vegetation types and ecosystems contained within the property are considered ‘endangered’ and ‘of concern’ at a regional level and are poorly represented in existing reserves."
