The Daintree Rainforest is important because of its extreme biodiversity. Here I quote the Wikipedia article...

"The Daintree Rainforest contains 30% of frog, marsupial, and reptile species in Australia, and 65% of Australia's bat and butterfly species. 18% of bird species in the country can be found in this area. There are also over 12000 species of insects. All of this diversity is contained within an area that takes up 0.2% of the landmass of Australia."

For this reason, it has been preserved as a National Park and a World Heritage Site.
