The cassowary is endangered in Australia, mainly because of habitat degradation, but also because of feral pigs eating their eggs and wild and domestic dogs killing their chicks.
Another reason for declined numbers of cassowaries is that many are being killed by vehicles. Between the combined problem of vehicles and dogs, it is estimated that there may be fewer than 1000 cassowaries left in the wild.
Habitat loss occurs as a result of logging, farming and urban development. Cassowaries do not readily adapt to new habitats, and are particularly prone to stress resulting from displacement.
Unfortunately, as more cassowaries are killed, the gene pool is becoming less diverse, meaning that animals have less well developed immune systems. This in turn increases their vulnerability to diseases.

What does a decline reason 02 from telecheck mean?
I had a check to Walmart declined for reason 02 by Telecheck . Telecheck was called and they said that reason 02 means that it is a "store" issue not Telecheck. They had no records showing the check in question was declined. I was told to take the check (this is a company check) back and retry it. The check was declined a second time and Telecheck says once again it's a Walmart issue. I look closely at the slip showing it has been declined and notice the slip shows that the routing number is showing as the account number!! So the point is that reason 02, per Telecheck, is a STORE issue.
