How This Charity Supports the Community
Sixteen Degrees South Inc. is a not-for-profit charity established in 2022, dedicated to facilitating the revegetation of authentic tropical rainforest in the Daintree and greater Daintree regions of Far North Queensland, Australia. The organisation collaborates with local stakeholders, landowners, and experienced contractors to restore indigenous forest cover and ecological function on cleared or weedy lands, contributing to biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation.

This project focuses on planting diverse native tree species to recreate pre-clearing ecosystems, thereby restoring habitat and food resources for iconic wildlife such as cassowaries, tree-kangaroos, and the Ulysses blue butterfly. The project employs a maximum diversity planting method to ensure ecological resilience and supports ongoing monitoring of tree growth and carbon sequestration.
