21.01.2022 6 Days until our new Rainforest opens! Check out our pinned post to WIN a weekly family pass for opening weekend. Something very special happened in 2016, that year Wildlife Habitat introduced the endangered Mahogany Glider to the sanctuary. The park was chuffed when they successfully bred this endangered species. Even more impressive is that Wildlife Habitat was the only sanctuary that was successful in breeding Mahogany Gliders in the country that year. A true testamen...t to their conservation efforts and show how happy the animals are to be there. Neat fact: The Mahogany Glider was thought to be extinct for over 100 years until it was rediscovered 1989. WILD-Life begins at 30!

16.01.2022 Today is World Tourism Day and Wildlife Habitat and The CaPTA Group would like to take the time to support our locals and intrastate and interstate visitors for their support. It’s been a tough year, but our animals have kept us positive and we will strive to make a difference to the conservation and awareness of native Australian species. One of the themes for this year’s World Tourism Day is the importance of tourism for animal conservation and protecting endangered spec...ies, something that is at the core of our ethos. Through our motto of observation, appreciation, conservation we aim to educate our guests about Australian animals, so that they understand how they can help to conserve them and their habitats. Our on-site, non-for-profit animal care centre, TARC- Tropical Animal Rehabilitation Centre, also cares for injured, orphaned and displaced native wildlife, and aims to rehabilitate these creatures so that they can return to the wild. #worldtourismday Explore Tropical North Queensland | Visit Queensland, Australia | Australia.com | Visit Port Douglas & Daintree
