Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas has taken a bold new step in bringing wildlife experiences to the world, launching a live stream of its resident southern cassowary, Airlie, in partnership with zoolife TV, the world’s first interactive online wildlife streaming platform.

Zoolife offers a truly unique immersive wildlife experience. Viewers can take control of secure, live cameras to explore animal habitats in real-time, zooming up close on over 100+ species from around the world, and witness unforgettable moments like feedings, and engage in live chats with keepers and experts.

It's a community where families, educators and animal lovers can come together to watch, learn, and engage in creative, fun ways with their favourite animals everyday.

For Wildlife Habitat, the partnership is a powerful way to highlight the importance of keystone species like the southern cassowary and the rainforest ecosystems they support.

Wildlife Habitat general manager Clare Hunt said the team is excited to join the project and sees it as an opportunity to raise awareness about the significance of cassowaries and their rainforest habitat.

“We’re thrilled to be part of this initiative. Cassowaries are living dinosaurs with a vital role in shaping the rainforest, and this stream lets people around the world see that up close. It’s a powerful way to raise awareness and champion their conservation,” she said.
“zoolife isn’t just about watching animals—it’s about understanding their lives and protecting their futures," said Shawn Blackburn, director of partnerships at zoolife TV.

“Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas is a true pioneer in immersive wildlife education - creating unforgettable experiences with Australia’s unique native species. By sharing Airlie’s story globally, we’re building a new future for online conservation and education together, making learning engaging, accessible, and meaningful for everyone, everywhere.”
