Introduced fauna A number of non-native species have been recorded on the subject land. These species pose a threat to the native populations both directly through predation and indirectly through competition for habitat resources. Council is currently working with rural landholders throughout the city undertaking control activities aimed at controlling wild dog numbers. Opportunities exist to include the property in future baiting programs that are also able to target foxes and cats at the management boards’ discretion). Threatened species specific management Richmond Birdwing Butterfly It is considered worthwhile mapping the extent of the host vine Pararistilochia praevenosa. These areas can then be actively managed free of weed incursions to allow for the spread and regeneration of this important host plant. It would be worth monitoring these vines to determine if Richmond Birdwing butterflies are activel...
Fauna. A zoological inventory done at the obtainment of decision on environmental conditions and in May 2018 proved that: Protected species of invertebrates were not observed within the Malinówka 1 Reservoir and its buffer, Occurrence of fish was not identified within the area of the planned Malinówka 1 Xxxxx- voir and its buffer, Habitats proper for protected species of amphibians were not identified within the Ma- linówka 1 Reservoir and its buffer, Sand lizard was identified among protected species of reptiles, The area of Malinówka 1 Reservoir is not an attractive habitat for ornithofauna, it is only used by single specimens of anthropophobic synanthrope populations. Protected species of birds were not identified in the area, but 6 protected species were observed within the buffer, e.g. white wagtail, xxxxxxx bird, common blackbird, and common kestrel. During night listening watches within the designed Malinówka 1 Reservoir activity of bats was not identified. An analysis of habitat conditions proved that there are no potential bat habitats within the area in question. There are no actual or potential habitats of protected species of non-flying mammals in the area of Malinówka 1 Reservoir. Location of the Contract in reference to the protected resources of the natural environment was presented on a map reproduced under Appendix 7 to the EMP – Map with location of the Contract in reference to natural habitats and protected species occurrence sites.
Fauna. A zoological inventory done at the obtainment of decision on environmental conditions and in May 2018 proved that: Buff-tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris and red-tailed bumblebee Bombus lapidarius were observed within the designed Malinówka 2 Reservoir and its buffer. In the forest lo- cated within the contract buffer presence of saproxylic beetles is not excluded. Occurrence of fish was not identified within the area of the planned Malinówka 2 Xxxxx- voir and its buffer. Within the area of the Malinówka 2 Reservoir relatively numerous frogs of the green frog group (in the type of pool frog and edible frog) were identified. Furthermore adult speci- mens nad larvae forms of common toad and frogs of the brown frog group (common frog, moor frog) were found. At least two huge reservoirs formed by the beaver dams are pre- sent within the analyzed area. Furthermore, there are several smaller reservoirs and wa- ter-pits, where development of larvae forms of frogs and toads take place. The area of the planned contract may also be used by some specimens of other species of amphibi- ans not identified during the survey. Presence of sand lizard and occurrence of habitats potentially applicable by slowworm, viviparous lizard, grass snake, and common viper (however those species were not iden- tified during the survey) were identified in the area. The area of the planned reservoir and its buffer remains a habitat for birds. In the area of the Malinówka 2 Reservoir 29 protected species of birds were identified. Most of them probably nest beyond the area of the planned reservoir, and the area to be applied for the purpose of the reservoir is treated only as a feeding site. However, some of them surely nest within sites, which would be transformed due to the performance. 41 species of pro- tected birds were identified within the buffer, including some worth noticing: corn crake, black woodpecker, red-backed shrike. High activity of bats was observed during night listening watches within the area of the designed reservoir. Flights and feeding of common noctule was identified (especially within open sites in the southern part of the planned reservoir). Common pipistrelle and Xxxxxx’x bat/whiskered bat were identified among other species. Summer colonies of bats are probably present within the forest area in the buffer. Eurasian beaver is present within the area of the planned reservoir. The entire water- course within the analyzed area shall be considered as ...
Fauna. Due to mobility of the reported insect species, execution of the Sub-Task can impact insects in the site area mainly indirectly. This impact will be associated with a temporary reduction of the food base. This impact will be insignificant considering the proportion of the implementation area to the area of the food base in its vicinity. At the construction stage the main anticipated risk to reptiles and amphibians is disturbance (approximately up to 100 m from the Sub-Task) and incidental killing of specimen during the works. Casual killing of amphibians or reptiles might result from collisions with vehicles operating at the construction site and falling into trenches. Nonetheless, no significant long- term impact is expected to pose a risk to the populations’ continuity or to reduce the size. Additionally, the minimizing measures will reduce the impact of this stage on amphibians and reptiles. During the works there will be no destroying or killing of hatches (due to the minimizing measures implemented). At the construction stage, the direct impact may consist in physical removal (after the breeding period) of nests at the construction site during the clearance and topsoil removal in the area, as in the case of one red-backed shrike site. Since the habitats convenient for the red-backed shrike (open, sunny sites with numerous shrubs) will not be depleted as a result of the Sub-Task, removing one nest outside of the breeding season will not affect the stability of the population of that species. The indirect impact will come from the disturbance. The works performed for the project will involve presence of humans and machinery in birds’ breeding sites. Additionally, the works will generate noise. The increased area penetration and noise level can cause indirect impact leading to abandoning hatches and site by the birds in the vicinity. The distance at which disturbance has an effect on birds will vary among species. It should be pointed out that the construction site will be located outside “sensitive” birds concentrations (birds of prey, gulls, owls, species that make courtship flights) and outside sites that are particularly valuable (such as wetlands) to breeding birds. The minimizing measures will help additionally reduce the scale of the impact at the construction stage to a non-significant level. Bat populations are characterized by high dynamics, every year locations and sizes of colonies in day roosts are different, which leads to differences in pa...
Fauna. No impacts on fauna are anticipated for the project except loss of habitats where the trees are felled or trimmed.
Fauna. The area supports a large number of small mammals, in particular Nxxxxxx’x cottontail rabbit and the black-tailed jackrabbit. These are by far the most commonly observed animals. Other small mammals known in the area include the deer mouse, western harvest mouse, Great Basin pocket mouse, long-tailed vole, chisel-toothed kangaroo rat, least chipmunk, and Txxxxxxx’x ground squirrel (BLM, 2001). Mule deer and antelope also inhabit the foothills. Predator mammals identified as occasional visitors would include mountain lion, bobcat, coyote and badger. Scorpions and bull snakes have been seen on the property (La Peire, personal communication, 2005) The vegetation is sufficiently dense to provide habitat suitable for small ground- and shrub-nesting birds, such as horned larks, sparrows, sage thrashers, nighthawks, barn swallows, meadowlarks, magpies and flycatchers. Game birds include mourning doves, California and mountain quail, sage grouse, Hungarian pxxxxxxxx and chukars. Raptor nests are not in evidence, but it is likely that golden eagles, western burrowing owl, ferruginous hawks and prairie falcons are the principal avian predators (BLM, 2001). A pair of ravens has occupied the pit areas throughout Atna’s exploration program.
Fauna. A diverse range of terrestrial fauna exists, with similar distributions to the rest of New Ireland. Fauna includes marsupials, reptiles, amphibians, rodents and mammals including wild pigs. There is a rxxx xxxx population, including forest dwellers, sea birds and waders. One particular bird (the Melanesian scrubfowl — Megapodius eremite eremit, a member of the megapode family) uses the geothermal areas to incubate its eggs. Pigs and megapode eggs are traditionally significant as a source of food. There is an absence of large rivers or estuaries on the island and it is thought that this has limited the establishment and adaptation of marine species in the freshwater environment. The streams which drain the mountains of Lihir are short and fast flowing with erratic flow volumes almost drying up in low flow periods and producing Lihir Management Company Limited December 31, 2004 Lihir Gold Mine — Mine Closure Plan Update 2004 torrents during heavy rain. Fish habitats on the island occur mainly in the low-gradient zones along the narrow stretch of coastal plain and are characterized by riffles and pools. Freshwater fauna consist mainly of fish, prawns and eels (LMC 1996). Within Lxxxx Xxxxxxx, there exists bottom dwelling (benthic) fauna such as macro-invertebrates in the form of worms and burrowing and surface crustaceans and a small benthic fish population. Coral reefs fringe the coastline of the island and provide a rich marine habitat. There are not many live corals in the shallow water due to wave disturbance but at greater depths a variety of corals exist. At depths greater than 50m and below, the corals are less in number and are more thin and brittle. Marine fauna such as molluscs, starfish and sea-cucumbers live in the shallow water and many types of crustaceans such as crab, lobster and shrimp live in the reef areas. A rich variety of reef fish make up the largest group of fish around the island. Ocean fish (Pelagics) are also numerous and include squid, tuna and sharks. Turtles have been observed in the ocean, and in particular Leatherback Turtles, which have in the past infrequently used a section of the Kapit beach to lay their eggs. Little is known about fauna in the deep surrounding ocean floor and trenches.
