There is great potential for rainforest reforestation to help in the protection of Australia's tropical flora and fauna. Little is known, however, about how to reforest pasture to rainforest for the purpose of maximising the recovery of native biodiversity. We propose a unique experimental study of rainforest reforestation practices with biodiversity conservation as a primary goal. Reforestation is currently an unlikely option for most landholders in Australia's tropics given the lack of data on the economic benefits obtainable from such efforts. Our study examines the profits obtainable through the carbon market for each reforestation approach with the goal of increasing the feasibility of rainforest reforestation in North Queensland.

在保护澳大利亚热带植物群和动物群方面，雨林重新造林有很大的潜力。然而，人们对如何将牧场重新造林为雨林以最大限度地恢复本地生物多样性知之甚少。我们提出了一个独特的实验研究雨林造林的做法与生物多样性保护作为一个主要目标。由于缺乏关于重新造林可获得的经济效益的数据，目前对澳大利亚热带地区的大多数土地所有者来说，重新造林是一个不太可能的选择。 我们的研究探讨了通过碳市场可获得的利润为每一个再造林的方法，以增加在北昆士兰州的雨林再造林的可行性的目标。
