• Sensitively observing our surroundings and wildlife
• Conserving water and not contaminating rivers and creeks
• Keeping the bush and remote communities clean
• Respecting indigenous cultures

Regional Action

Wilderness Challenge has an active role in regional conservation. We partner some of Australia’s leading agencies in our commitment to best practice ecotourism in Tropical North Queensland.

The Australian Rainforest Foundation is an incorporated not-for-profit organisation dedicated to education, research and habitat rehabilitation for Australia's rainforests made possible through investment, sponsorship and donations from corporate and private citizens.
