         Wongaling/South Mission Beach Habitat linkage mapping
​

​The Project
In 2008 Terrain NRM and CSIRO worked with the community and government departments to develop a local area plan for Mission Beach.  (Mission Beach Habitat Network Action Plan) A crucial part of the plan was the mapping of habitat connectivity. These are often very narrow nature  linkages associated with creeks and drains connecting larger blocks of  rainforest and are necessary for cassowaries to access their severely fragmented  essential  habitat. Two projects were carried out The Wongaling  Creek Habitat Linkages and the Wongaling - South Mission Beach Habitat Linkages.  The mapping from these projects was incorporated into the local Planning Scheme. 
Funds ran out before the mapping was completed. 

Why is the mapping important?
The  Federal Government  relied on the mapping to protect  Lot 66,  a cassowary corridor linking the Wet Tropics and the Great Barrier Reef  World Heritage Areas in the heart of Mission Beach. 


What does it mean? 
Many corridors known to support cassowaries are not identified in our local planning scheme and therefore not  taken into account when developments are being assessed.
​
Our goal
To help raise  $6,500 for the Mission Beach Cassowaries project to complete the mapping  and  ask the Cassowary Coast Regional Council to please incorporate the completed mapping into the Planning Scheme. 

​Thank you for your help. Your donation will help secure the safe future of cassowaries many of which are well known to the residents of  the northern part of Mission Beach. See a map of individual cassowaries compiled  from information shared by the community on the Mission Beach Cassowaries facebook page.
