The mission of Kuranda Conservation is to assist our community to use land in an ecologically sustainable way, and to conserve and sustain our region’s biodiversity through education, demonstration, and provision of native rainforest plants to the public.

Our focal species is the iconic Southern Cassowary. We work to promote cassowary welfare by educating our community about the many facets of cassowary conservation, including habitat protection, rainforest restoration, establishment of nature reserves, weed management, and domestic, feral and pest animal control. We also support and participate in research projects working towards a better understanding of the complex needs of this unique umbrella species. The conservation measures we are taking to sustain the Southern Cassowary in our region will also lead the other fauna and flora of our region to not just survive, but to thrive.

We believe we’ll make good decisions about what we grow on our properties, what pets we keep, how we behave on the roads and bush tracks, and how we design our towns and houses by measuring the impact our actions have on cassowary habitat in this part of the world.

All donations $2+ to our Gift Fund are tax-deductible.
