Cassowaries At Mission Beach

Picture
A 24 page booklet has been produced by C4 outlining the continuing, increasing, and unsustainable threats to the endangered Cassowary population at Mission Beach.

The booklet was made available by grants from the Federal Government Enviro Fund and the State Government Gambling Fund. It is a condensed version of the message C4 presented at the recent Cassowary Summit hosted by The Wet Tropics Management Authority in Cairns.

Containing some confronting graphics and a hard hitting message, the booklet highlights that legislation on a local, state and federal level is inadequate to  protect the endangered cassowary despite countless research projects and management plans being funded over the past two decades.

With development pressure reaching an unprecedented level and 40% of the remaining habitat at Mission Beach still not protected, the message is loud and clear that the cassowaries are in real trouble. The aim of the booklet is an appeal for help from the public to encourage immediate action from local, state and federal governments to address the increasing threats by way of buyback, fair incentives to landholders and changes in legislation.
