It is hoped the outcome of the trial will help understand more about how the unnacceptable number of cassowaries being killed on Mission Beach Roads can be addressed. Kym and Alex saw first hand the difficulty cassowaries have crossing roads and were impressed by the community action in response to 2 of Yellow Knees three chicks being another road statistic despite the best efforts of TMR and the community to alert drivers of the likelihood of the birds regular crossing of the road. |
