The Daintree Rainforest
A tropical rainforest is a large area with a high annual rainfall covered with thick broad leaved evergreen trees. The Daintree Rainforest is located on the North-East coast of Queensland, Australia. It is only an eighth of the size it used to be. The Daintree is a World Heritage Area, which means that it is protected by an internationally-recognised body. The uniqueness of many of the plants and animals that can be found in the Daintree is just one of the reasons why the rest of the world thinks it is such an important place. Australia is the home of a very special environment, which needs to be respected and protected so that it will always be there. In this rainforest there are thousands of different plant and animal species that are vital to the rainforests life. But with every plant comes different layers, and with every layer comes different animals, with every animal comes tourists and native people.
TemperaturesThe average temperature of Daintree Rainforest is about twenty-eight degrees Celsius. However most of the time the temperature will vary between twenty-four and thirty degrees Celsius.
