You can help protect our special environment and  the cassowary by writing to those who are determining our future.
Some points to consider 

  • Protect our  National Parks and wilderness areas
  • Recognise the cassowary for its rightful place of importance to the community, environment and  economy
  • Prioritise protection of our iconic cassowary and mahogany glider in all planning 
  • Implement traffic management solutions to help cassowaries cross roads
  • Complete the mapping of local cassowary corridors at Mission Beach
  • Condition developments appropriately to address the  impact on cassowaries
  • Local council stick to the Planning Scheme, listen to the community and consult with local  conservationists when developing plans, policies and strategies that will impact on  the character and exceptionally high natural and cultural  values of the Cassowary Coast
  • Promote Mission Beach as an  Eco Tourism, low impact destination, not thrill seeking,  high impact mass tourism
  • Listen to the strong consistent message the community has been sending over decades of consultation. 
  • Listen to  the feedback from regional, national and international visitors  who want  to see Mission Beach retain the character of low rise, relaxed atmosphere of villages  in the rainforest by the sea and the best place to see a cassowary in the wild
