There are four major threats to the natural environment. All are interlinked, and all are within our control if we are careful with the way we handle the rainforest.
· Logging, an industry that put the Daintree Rainforest on the map decades ago, remains a force in the area. Parts of the rainforest are controlled by the Queensland Forestry Department, who could fell ancient trees and sell the timber for high prices.
· Mining is another threat, although has not yet become active. Tin mining leases are held over parts of the area, and if these go ahead many plants and animal species will become extinct.
· Tourism also has an affect on the area. More than 400 000 people visit the area each year, which means thousands of buses, 4WD’s, and passenger cars drive through the rainforest. The great majority of tourism operators are highly aware of their impact on the environment and take steps to minimise their impact.
· Development by private enterprise is questionably the most dangerous expression of human activity in the area. Division of land, building of fences, and development of roads, leads to perilous conditions for native animals that often need to cross the fences or roads to get to their food source.
