The Daintree Rainforest, also known as the Daintree, is a region on the northeast coast of Queensland, Australia. It is the largest continuous area of tropical rainforest on the Australian continent and is one of Australia's most significant locations in terms of biodiversity and conservation efforts. Its tropical and subtropical rainforests are home to many flora and fauna, including many rare and threatened species. The region is home to Australia's highest diversity of plants and animals, with over 65 per cent of all species endemic to Queensland found in the Daintree. The forest is also of great cultural significance to Aboriginal people, who have inhabited the region for thousands of years and are deeply connected with its environment.
