Research opportunities in the Daintree World Heritage region of Far North Queensland, Australia

Michael and Maria Parsons recently purchased a substantial 165 acre lot of land in Far North Queensland, Australia. Entirely covered by tropical rainforest, it is contiguous with the Daintree World Heritage Area and National Park. Notable for its extensive size and impressively high biodiversity, the property will eventually be bequested for inclusion in the Daintree National Park system. It will soon become legally protected as a registered Nature Refuge and wildlife and biodiversity research facility, under Queensland’s “Protected Areas Programme.”
