C4 Land Buy back - GIVENOW
Cassowaries Are Endangered.

The latest estimates suggest the total Australian population of the southern Cassowary numbers could be as low as 1,500 adults.
 
Some of the many problems facing cassowaries are:
  • loss of habitat through clearing for residential settlement and agricultural expansion,
  • fragmented habitat (especially from roads and subdivisions),
  • vehicle traffic (road kills are the number one known cause of adult Cassowary deaths),
  • dogs (which are especially aggressive to chicks and juveniles), and feral pigs (impact on their habitat)

How will the funds be used?
  • Appeal funds will be used to create a revolving fund to purchase residential rainforest, and adjacent, land in the Mission Beach area, which is vital to the long-term survival of the endangered Southern Cassowary. (The Queensland Government's Land Titles Act enables landowners to place a legally binding Conservation Covenant on their land.)
  • After purchase, C4 will place a legal covenant on the title deed establishing the residential site on the land, and Cassowary habitat.
  • Once the covenant has been placed on the land to ensure the perpetual availability of wildlife habitat, the land will then be resold for residential purposes, freeing up funds for further land purchases.
