Saving the Cassowary From Extinction in Australia

Australia Environment

The Endangered Southern Cassowary is a 'keystone' species crucial for rainforest ecology. Only 1500 remain in the wild due to habitat destruction caused by residential 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.
