| History: | Rainforest Rescue is a not for profit organisation which started in 1998 when Kelvin Davies and Dr Tony Parkes met to bring together their ideas for rainforest conservation. On the 25th of March 1999 Rainforest Rescue was registered with the Australian government as a Company Limited by Guarantee operating as a not for profit organisation. This provided the structure necessary to perform activities relevant to an effective not for profit organisation while providing maximum accountability to the supporters. Rainforest Rescue has since this time made significant contributions to rainforest conservation through the projects outlined below. | ||
| Cause: | Rainforest Rescue is committed to protecting rainforests forever both in Australia and internationally. This is achieved by creating opportunities for individuals, families, philanthropic trusts and businesses to finance successful projects. Projects involve on-ground rainforest restoration, research aimed at improving rainforest conservation outcomes and the purchase, protection and ongoing management of high conservation value rainforest. | ||
| Purpose: | To save the rainforests for current and future generations. | ||
| Activities: | Rainforest Rescue has the following projects on which further information is available at www.rainforestrescue.org.au: Daintree Buy Back and Protect Forever, Plant a Rainforest, Big Scrub Restoration Project, Big Scrub Rainforest Day, Research to the Rescue, Ecuador "Save a Hectare" and Orangutan "Habitat for Survival". | ||
