Flora and Fauna Sample Clauses

Flora and Fauna. A team of biologists from X.X. Xxxxxx and Associates conducted a flora and fauna survey of the Project area on March 4, 2019. Attachment – S5 STATE OF HAWAII SPECIAL CONDITIONS Most of the inaccessible interior of the Project area can be described as grassland habitat. Because this area has a long history of intensive cultivation, there are almost no traces of original vegetation at the site today. It is covered with dense, monotypic stands of dead guinea grass (Megathyrsus maximus) with scattered haole koa trees (Leucaena leucocephala). Unlike in the aerial photographs of the Project area, the Kukamahu Gulch habitat could not be distinguished when scanning the interior of the Project area from the eastern and southern borders. However, limited access to the southernmost portion of the gulch which runs parallel to the Highway revealed that the gulch was dry. The gulch constitutes a sharp drop of about 30 ft. from the edge of the Highway right-of-way. The western end of the gulch is comprised of large ʻopiuma trees (Pithecellobium dulce) with hardly any understory vegetation. A total of 53 plant species were observed in the surveyed parts of the Project area. Fifty- one (96%) of these are either cultivated or naturalized and two species (4%): hoary abutilon (Abutilon incanum) and ʻuhaloa (Waltheria indica) are believed to be indigenous to the Hawaiian Islands (Xxxxxx et al., 1999). No plant species state- or federally-listed as threatened or endangered, or candidates for listing, and no rare native Hawaiian plant species were observed in the accessible parts of the Project area. The Project area does not contain proposed or designated critical habitat for threatened or endangered plant species. The main vegetation types observed are provided in Table 2. Fourteen (14) bird species, all nonnative introduced species were seen during the survey of the Project area. Seven (7) of these species are designated as injurious species on the state list of injurious wildlife (DLNR, 2015) and are known to be harmful to agriculture, aquaculture, or indigenous wildlife or plants or to constitute a nuisance or health hazard: cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis), zebra dove (Geopelia striata), spotted dove (Streptopelia chinensis), Japanese white-eye (Zosterops japonicus), chestnut munia (Lonchura atricapilla), white-rumped shama (Copsychus malabaricus), and rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri). The first four of these species were either abundant or commonly found on the Proje...

Flora and Fauna. All flora and fauna are protected. Zebula is managed on a basis similar to a Nature Reserve. Without the express authorization and consent of the Management Committee the following is important and must be adhered to –

Flora and Fauna a. The Contractor or representative of the Contractor must not disturb, damage or remove any native vegetation without prior permission from the Company’s Representative.

Flora and Fauna under no circumstances should any flora and fauna be taken from site without prior agreement.

Flora and Fauna i) Flora - In general the growth of vegetation is poor in the area. In lease area there is having some vegetation of scanty shrubs. The main plantation are Khejri, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Jhad.The average tree density of such trees is counted to be less than 10-15 trees per hect.
