Project summary
The Rainforest Restoration to Join World Heritage Listed Maalan and Wooroonooran National Parks Project is a 16-year, $1.905 million collaboration between the Queensland Government and South Endeavour Trust. The project will replant 35 hectares of endangered high-altitude rainforest on the Atherton Tablelands to create a wildlife corridor between the World Heritage listed Maalan and Wooroonooran National Parks, benefiting threatened and near threatened species, restoring riparian vegetation within the Great Barrier Reef catchment, and providing jobs for First Nations people.
