Australian subtropical rainforests urgently need your help

The Big Scrub rainforest, and its astonishing array of ancient flora and fauna, needs your help to survive. For as little as a dollar a day ($30 per month), you can become a Voice of the Rainforest and help us protect critically endangered rainforest and its many threatened species.

Our community of Voice of the Rainforest supporters help us plan for the long-term and make real change. As a member of this community, you can become part of the fight and connect with the rainforest through exclusive benefits, tours and events*.

For a limited time, supporters who pledge a monthly donation of $55 or more also receive a free gift copy of our book The Big Scrub Rainforest: A Journey Through Time. This beautiful book is your bible to everything you need to know about the Big Scrub.

Without your help the Big Scrub and other lowland subtropical rainforests will continue to fade away. Become a Voice of the Rainforest, or make a one-time donation, today and help us save what’s left of Australia’s precious subtropical rainforests.

Science Saving Rainforests

Our ground-breaking Science Saving Rainforests program analyses the genomes of 60 species occurring in critically endangered lowland subtropical rainforest based on DNA sequencing of more than 10,000 leaf samples.

These genome analyses will inform the establishment of a multi-species living seed bank plantation that will produce planting stock with optimal genetic diversity for restoration plantings to help save from extinction our critically endangered lowland subtropical rainforest and its threatened species.
