Mossman Botanic Garden (MBG) is poised to become a 21st-century botanic garden dedicated to nature-positive solutions and tropical rainforest conservation. Strategically located in Mossman, Far North Queensland, the MBG is uniquely situated within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area—one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. Surrounded by ancient rainforests and adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef, MBG is preparing to become a global leader in ex-situ tropical plant conservation and biosecurity methodologies.
MBG is not only a conservation initiative but also a catalyst for economic growth. By creating innovative job opportunities, training programs, and green economy initiatives, MBG will drive sustainable development in the local and regional economy. As a strong botanical hub, MBG is perfectly positioned to showcase Northern Australia’s leadership and best practice principles in tropical rainforest conservation while also promoting other world-class environmental projects and organisations in the region.
This project represents a unique opportunity to invest in a sustainable future for FNQ, combining environmental impact with economic growth, and positioning MBG as a cornerstone of biodiversity conservation and green innovation.
