Heeeey Huge, How are you?? I would be interested in knowing the current status of the Daintree in terms of threats to the ecosystems. What are the issues you face now in 2010? Are the lowlands still at risk by piecemeal development? If so could you share a bit about that? Any other threats? Thanks, Robin PS: My book will be out late this year. It's at the publishers right now. I am off to New York City in May to sign galley copies.

Cape Tribulation
Cape Tribulation, on the Coral Sea off far-north Queensland, Australia, is about 120 km north of Cairns, and is home to the Cape Tribulation Research Station. Cape Tribulation is located in the Daintree National Park and the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. This area contains a diversity of habitats, from mangrove forests, littoral rainforest – the Station is located at less than a kilometer from the coast – to relict sclerophyll woodlands on the dryer slopes.
