The rainforest will benefit from this land protection and extension by maintaining its mega biodiversity.

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Preserving this ancient rainforest will give future generations the prospect of new medicines. Protecting this forest will store thousands of tons of carbon stored in the forest's biomass, and re-vegetating cleared land will give us oxygen.
Project Message
To care for and help save an important piece of the world is a moral act that your family and future generations will greatly appreciate.
- Roger Phillips, CEO, Australian Rainforest Foundation.

Latest Update from the Field
Pictures From the Latest Field Report: Nursery Stocked!
By Roger Phillips - CEO, June 05, 2008 05:13 PM
Hi Mates!
Here are some pictures of the nursery. We are now repairing and extending the George Mansford Reserve. This will provide ongoing habitat for endangered flagship species like the Southern Cassowary. The cassowary is a large flightless bird and it is known as the Rainforest Gardener because of its incredible seed dispersal abilities.
The cassowary maintains the integrity, mega bio-diversity and the soul of the rainforest. Your contributions help the cassowary and the Australian Rainforest Foundation do its job. For more info, please visit us at www.arf.net.au.
Thanks mates!
