Why it matters
The Northern Cassowary is one of the world's largest flightless birds, recognized by its distinctively notched tail and short, vestigial wings. Native to the tropical forests of northern New Guinea, it is a key species for ecological health, as it plays an essential role in seed dispersal for many local rainforest plants.
