Save the Cassowary from Extinction in Australia
Organization information
Rainforest Rescue
Location: MULLUMBIMBY, Australia
Summary
The Endangered Australian Southern Cassowary is a 'keystone' species crucial for rainforest ecology, with fewer that 4,600 remaining in the wild. Their main threat is loss of habitat due to development. Rainforest Rescue is working to save the Cassowary through buying back high conservation rainforest as well as restoring rainforest habitat and creating wildlife corridors through the planting of trees which will provide habitat, food, and a safe passage for generations of Cassowaries to come.
