The Wet Tropics Restoration Alliance (the Alliance) is a coalition of organisations dedicated to ensuring the survival of the Wet Tropics forests—some of the world’s oldest continuously surviving tropical rainforests—amidst a changing and unstable climate. The Alliance also strives to enhance the ecological, social, cultural and financial resilience of the Wet Tropics region.
We work as partners to reverse the decline of our unique biodiversity and use nature-based and traditional ecological solutions, including revegetation and conservation outside reserves, to address our climate emergency.
The current decade is our window to climate-proof critical areas of the Wet Tropics. Acknowledging the challenge of retaining and restoring the environment, the United Nations has declared 2021–2030 the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, with a focus on preventing, halting and reversing the degradation of ecosystems worldwide.
The Alliance is open to any organisation or individual with an interest in working together to ensure the survival of Wet Tropics forests under a changing and unstable climate. Currently, the Alliance is made up of over 28 organisations and independents, including Traditional Custodians, landscape restoration practitioners, research organisations, conservation entities and investors. With the goal of securing the future of the Wet Tropics, the Alliance invites anyone committed to contributing to this mission to join us as a member.
Joining the Alliance offers numerous advantages, including access to the collective skills, knowledge and potential resources of fellow members. As a member, you'll receive priority invitations to Alliance activities throughout the year, such as free workshops and field trips tailored to your interests and regional needs, and the annual Alliance forum. Members also gain access to the Members Directory, an online tool designed to help members identify collaboration opportunities and resource sharing to scale up restoration efforts in the Wet Tropics region.
We also aim to enhance member benefits as the Alliance grows and matures by developing an investment framework to attract increased funding to save Wet Tropics forests.
