A living museum that predates the dinosaurs, and it's under pressure. Every square metre you protect is real land, secured through our conservation partners. 30% of all Australian mammals, reptiles and frogs live here 3,000+ plant species found only in this forest ~65% of Australia's butterfly species live here Protect a Square Your Square shelters Extraordinary lives depend on this forest Tap any card to discover the animal's story. Ecosystem Engineer Southern Cassowary Southern Cassowary Endangered One of Australia's most iconic endangered birds. The Southern Cassowary is the only animal large enough to disperse the seeds of over 150 rainforest plant species. Lose the Cassowary and you lose the forest. Night Pollinator Spectacled Flying Fox Spectacled Flying Fox Endangered A keystone species of the Wet Tropics. Flying foxes cross-pollinate trees that feed all other wildlife. Lose them, and the forest loses its midnight life force. Australia's Largest Butterfly Cairns Birdwing Cairns Birdwing Vulnerable The Cairns Birdwing depends entirely on pristine forest habitat. Its caterpillars feed on a single native vine species, making habitat preservation critical to its survival. Freshwater Indicator Rainforest Frog Rainforest Frog Threatened The Wet Tropics houses over 30 frog species, many found nowhere else on Earth. Their health tells scientists everything about water quality and ecosystem balance. Pollinator Rainbow Lorikeet Rainbow Lorikeet Abundant Rainbow Lorikeets feed on nectar and pollen, moving from tree to tree. In doing so, they transfer pollen and drop seeds, helping the forest regenerate across wide areas. Forest Drummer Palm Cockatoo Palm Cockatoo Vulnerable The Palm Cockatoo is endemic to Cape York and New Guinea. Males craft tools from branches to drum on hollow trees, a behaviour unique among birds and a sign of high intelligence. 🗺️ Live community map See where Protectors are making their mark Every square on this map is a real piece of protected rainforest, named by the person who claimed it.

A Square is a documented unit of protection linked to a specific square metre of real conservation land. It is non-financial and does not transfer land ownership. Concrete example In our Australia project, land is held by C4 (Community for Coastal and Cassowary Conservation) at Djarawong, near Mission Beach, Queensland. Each Square is GPS-mapped within that protected area and visible on our live map What you get Support for the protection and stewardship of that square metre A GPS-linked location you can visit on the map A certificate documenting your contribution Connection to a community of Protectors What you don't get Land ownership or title deed Development rights Resource extraction rights Guaranteed financial returns Roles and responsibilities Who holds what 🏛️ Conservation partner Holds legal title to the land.

A Square is a documented unit of protection linked to a specific GPS-defined square metre of real conservation land. It is non-financial and does not transfer land ownership. You can name it, see it on the map, and track its impact. Who owns the land? The land is legally owned and managed by our conservation partner, C4 (Community for Coastal and Cassowary Conservation), a registered Australian not-for-profit. Square by Square facilitates funding and mapping. Where is the land? Our first project, Djarawong, is located in the Wet Tropics Rainforest near Mission Beach, Queensland, Australia. This is one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth and home to endangered species like the Southern Cassowary. Where does the money go? Your contribution funds three things: securing at-risk rainforest through our conservation partner, long-term stewardship and management of the land, and platform operations (mapping, certificates, community tools). What happens after I buy? You receive a personalised certificate instantly, your Square appears on the live map with your chosen name, and you get access to your Protector Profile showing your real-time impact (CO₂ captured, freshwater produced, species protected). Can I gift a Square? Yes! Squares make meaningful gifts. At checkout, choose the gift option, enter the recipient's name and email, and they receive a beautiful digital certificate. The Square is named in their honour on the live map.
