ABOUT US
CONSERVING BIODIVERSITY
The Wet Tropics Biodiversity Foundation is a not-for-profit charity, established to conserve and restore native ecosystems that support animal and plant diversity within the Wet Tropics.
The risks to native ecosystems come from key threatening processes, such as land clearance and degradation of rainforest from transformer weeds. Poor water quality is further one of the most significant threats to marine life of the adjacent Great Barrier Reef.
Our activities tackle these threats head on. Our strategic focus is at the landscape level, where ecosystem functioning often depends on support from the broader group of individuals and organisations to address environmental interdependencies.
GET INVOLVED
OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE
Many hands make light work. So, we invite you to get involved! There's a range of opportunities to suit everyone, from collecting native seeds, to growing seedlings in our nursery and planting trees, or participating in citizen science projects.
