The Wet Tropics World Heritage Area holds a wealth of information, some of it still locked up in its deep and dark interiors and secretive wildlife.

The Wet Tropics Management Authority (the Authority) seeks to ensure that you are enriched by the knowledge uncovered by years of discovery and research. We support learning across the whole of the community through community engagement, training and capacity building, events and presentations, research grants and media.

Working with future generations

The World Heritage Area inspires artists, writers and photographers of all ages to capture its splendour using different media. It also inspires us all to recognise the important environmental messages that we, as stewards of the World Heritage Area, need to take heed of. 

The Authority has collaborated with educational institutions to produce resources for teachers that focus on Wet Tropics rainforests. Rainforest Explorer has myriad activities, information and ideas for easy use in the classroom. 

To capture and share information about the diverse aspects and elements of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, the Authority produced Tropical Topics. These downloadable, succinct and easy-to- read factsheets describe some of the amazing natural and cultural features of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.
