Wildlife Queensland Cassowary Coast — Hinchinbrook Branch is engaged in the conservation of endangered habitats in the Wet Tropics Bioregion, with a focus on the Cassowary Coast Hinchinbrook Region, specifically:

• Development and land-use planning: We work to review and comment on coastal development as it impacts endangered species like the dugong, or mangrove communities and melaleuca swamps. We review land-use planning that impacts coastal woodlands and remnant rainforest and threatens iconic species including the mahogany glider (Petaurus gracilis) and southern cassowary (Casuarius casuarius).
• Working with landholders: The branch supports, assists and provides information to land managers about the protection of important habitat and landscape linkages on their land.
• Working on projects with state schools, local landholders, graziers, and the community, within mahogany glider habitat.
• Community awareness and education: We raise community awareness of local conservation issues, how individuals can help, and provide environmental education for schools.
• Collaboration and representation: We engage with threatened species recovery teams, government and industry to share information and resources that aid better decision-making.
• Projects: We implement corridor and landscape linkages, revegetation, threatened species camera monitoring, and barbed wire replacement.
