As we can see, the introduction of foreign animals would have an enormous impact on the flora and fauna of the Daintree Rainforest. 

 

The Daintree Rainforest is one of the oldest surviving rainforests in the entire world. It is no wonder that this Australian rainforest has been placed in the World Heritage list with over 135 million years worth of heritage. The Daintree Rainforest covers up to 120,000 hectares with each hectare containing over 30,000 species of plants and animals. This makes the Daintree Rainforest the largest tropical rainforest in Australia. The importance of this rainforest means that it should be taken care of so as to not damage or harm the living inhabitants within. Introducing a foreign animal to this heritage site could cause destruction for the flora and fauna taking shelter in this rainforest. Also, problems concerning the rainforest itself means that it is important to make sure that trading of foreign animals does not occur in the Daintree Rainforest. Damages and impacts on the rainforest not only affects the animals and plants living there, but also tourism and would mean the end of the remnants of the oldest surviving rainforest in the world.
