Kuranda Envirocare is a community volunteer organisation, focusing on conservation and based in Kuranda in Far North Queensland, Australia. We value and seek to protect the natural environment of Kuranda and its environs, work to conserve and repair biodiversity in the area, and to educate the community to do likewise.
Kuranda is known as 'the village in the rainforest', and is familiar to millions of people from all over the world who have visited as tourists. It lies at the top of the range inland from Cairns, and is accessible by road, rail (a tourist train operates daily) and by Skyrail, one of the world's longest cable car links. The altitude of about 400 metres can have quite an impact on temperature, and Kuranda is sometimes referred to as Cairns' 'air-conditioned suburb'.
Kuranda Envirocare has a special commitment to preserving and strengthening the Envirolink Corridor, a 10 kilometre arc of remnant rainforest vegetation south and west of Kuranda, linking World Heritage listed rainforests north and south of Kuranda. Details information may be found at the web site.
