History

The Daintree Rainforest has been home to the Kuku Yalanji people for tens of thousands of years. Its ancient lineage predates the Amazon Rainforest by millions of years. Named after Richard Daintree, a pioneering geologist, the rainforest gained recognition for its biodiversity and was granted World Heritage status in 1988. It remains a critical sanctuary for countless endangered species and cultural heritage.
