World Cassowary Day

This is a day of celebration to draw international attention to the reasons Cassowaries are globally important and need to be protected. It showcases the Southern Cassowary and the conservation efforts of people working to protect them, their home, and the other unique and endangered animals of the World Heritage listed Wet Tropics Rainforests. The Southern Cassowary is a large, flightless bird with impressive colouring and strong, dinosaur-like feet.
