The Southern Cassowary is Endangered.
This iconic rainforest bird faces a growing number of threats:
1. Protect and restore critical habitat
Donations fund our land buyback program, which purchases and protects critical rainforest blocks, securing safe corridors between the coast and national parks. These lands are permanently protected through conservation covenants, then resold to eco-conscious owners — creating a revolving fund to safeguard even more cassowary habitat. Native revegetation efforts also help reconnect fragmented landscapes.
2. Cassowary rehabilitation and care
We support the rescue, care, and successful return to the wild of sick, injured, or orphaned cassowaries. Your gift helps our team provide specialised monitoring and care that gives these birds a second chance at life in the wild.
3. Education and advocacy
We run education programs and community outreach to raise awareness, reduce cassowary threats (like road strikes and dog attacks), and inspire action. From school visits to signage and conservation events, we’re building a region that understands and protects its environment and wildlife.
Every dollar helps. Your contribution ensures cassowaries (and countless other species) have safe places to roam, recover, and thrive — now and into the future.
