11. Jade L. D.

Jade D Cassowary, more commonly known to her Instagram followers as Jade L.D. is a remarkable woman; she has dedicated her life to the “raptors of the world”. Most people will find that scary but her dauntless spirit finds no greater pleasure than indulging into the birds of prey.

Exciting day today ? Filming debut with Queto our superstar Blue and gold macaw and the crew from JuicedTV @juicedtv. Whilst these guys themselves aren't endangered in the wild, unfortunately a lot of their cousins such as the Hyacinth macaw are, due to poaching for the illegal wildlife trade and destruction of their rainforest habitats ?

Jade is a zoo-keeper in Australia. She uses instagram to post jaw-droppingly beautiful pictures of birds and animals that are under her care.  Of late, she has taken it upon herself to protect the critically endangered Cassowaries bird. She has started a fundraiser to buy a part of Daintree rainforest where Cassowaries can be protected and nurtured.
