SITE SPECIFIC CONSERVATION PLAN

The (Equus hemionus khur) also called the ghudkhur in the local , is a subspecies of the native to Southern .

1. Ghud Khur (Equus hemionus khur) Sanctuary

Introduction: A flat, salt-cracked vast barren desert, hissing sand storms and the majestic Ghudkhar roaming over mirage waters make the little rann of Kuchchh an unique and one of the most fascinating wilderness of the world. The Sanctuary was established in 1973 covering entire little rann and waste lands of bordering five districts with an area of 4953 Sq. KM. The Rann was a shallow part of the Gulf of Kuchchh earlier. It is formed through the process of siltation of marine estuary. During monsoon, the discharge of river and rain waters together with sea water blown up due to south west winds, the rann becomes a vast shallow sheet of water which dries up by October, November leaving a flat surface to provide super highway for vehicles.

Locally known as ‘Ghud Khar’ was once common in the North-western . West and South . They are now found only in the Rann of Kuchchh of Gujarat State. The Wild Ass falls in Family Equide which includes , Zibras and Donkeys.

Indian Wild Ass is one of the sturdiest in the world, withstanding scorching midday temp upto 45° C or more without any shelter in midst of the desert and facing long periods of as well as other calamities with relative ease, where others cannot survive. It has strength and speed of a and can run at speeds of 60 to 70 Km/hr. A mature beast stands 120 cms. in height and 210 cms. in length, weighing about 230 kgs. It possesses a shiny white coat with greyish-brown patches and a black or brown hairy stripe in the centre enhancing its beauty. They move about either singly or in herds (10 to 30) in search of fodder and sweet water, resting only in hot afternoon hours. They eat what they get, generally scrubby grass and pods of .

Gujarat has few other successful wildlife management stories which may be enlisted among the best conservation stories in the world.

The number of Indian wild ass, locally called Ghudkhar increased from about 400 individuals in 1960s to over 4,000 individuals in and around the Rann of Kuchchh at present. As per the report of the Forest Survey of India, the cover in the state has improved from less than 400 sq. km. in 1993 to about 1,050 sq. km. in 2009. The cover in the non-forest area has also improved due to intense social forestry activities.

Now villages in Gujarat are greener than their green covers in 1970s. This was achieved despite tremendous development pressure because the character and behavior of the Indian society have deep in cultural and religious strength that evolved and persisted over a period.

Physical description: The Indian wild ass, as with most other Asian wild ass subspecies, is quite different from the species. The coat is usually sandy, but varies from reddish grey, fawn, to pale . The

possesses an erect, dark mane which runs from the back of the head and along the neck. The mane is then followed by a dark brown stripe running along the back, to the root of the tail.

Habitat: In the present study, Wild Ass Sanctuary, Indian wild ass occupy the saline mudflats, grassland, bets (vegetated islands on the barren Rann), and the fringes where natural vegetation is interspersed with croplands. Scrubland with low to medium density of primarily an introduced exotic and Rann grassland were the most preferred habitat, providing thermal cover during the hot day, and foaling ground for gravid mares.

Behaviors Studies on social organization and behavioural ecology of the Indian wild ass (Equus hemionus khur) suggest that breeding is a seasonal activity occurring predominantly during monsoon. During the breeding season, male depending on their dominance hierarchy protect territories, male higher up in the hierarchy tends to have better habitat conditions in their territories while subordinate male are relegated to inferior territories. The female tends to move between territories and select mates with the best territory. Female with young tends to live in small groups of 2 – 5 adults. Indian wild asses graze between dawn and dusk. The animal feeds on grass, and of ,

crop, Prosopis pods, and saline vegetation. It is one of the fastest of Indian animals, with speeds clocked at about 70 – 80km per hour and can easily outrun a jeep. Stallions live either solitarily, or in small groups of twos and threes while family herds remain large.

Distribution The subspecies khur was once widely distributed across the arid region of north-west India (including present day Pakistan) and westwards through much of central Asia towards Syria. However, the range is now restricted to the Little Rann of Kuchchh (Wild Ass Sanctuary) in Gujarat and in adjoining districts. Surveys conducted by Shah in 1993 showed the emigration from the Sanctuary into adjoining areas that are interspersed with fallow and saline lands in Surendranagar, a breeding herd was also recorded in the northeastern part of the Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary.

The Indian wild ass is a species with a small distribution range restricted to the salt desert in the Little Rann of Kuchchh. Surra an arthropod transmitted protozoan disease devastated the population in 1958 and 1960, and this coupled with drought reduced the population to 720 in 1976. The declaration of the Little Rann of Kuchchh as a wildlife sanctuary in 1973 led to the recovery of the population to 2839 individuals in 1999. Current estimate suggests a population of approximately 4000 individuals. The species are currently under severe threat from anthropogenic activities. The area has a large reserve of table salt and its extraction is a serious threat to the habitat of the wild ass.

The wild ass, locally known as ghudkhar has been classified as 'nearly threatened' animal by the International Union For Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The animal found only in the Little Rann of Kuchchh in Gujarat in India, was earlier classified as `endangered.' The IUCN report added that the population of the Asiatic wild species has been re-established and the population is increasing. In Gujarat, there are 4,451 wild asses as per the 2014 census declared in May. In 2004, their number was 3,863 which has increased to 4000 in 2009. However, as per Wildlife Protection Act (1972) and subsequent amendments Indian wild ass has been listed as Schedule I.

Habitat fragmentation, disease and developmental activities are severe threats, to the continued survival of Indian Wild Ass. Due to the various threats, it is listed in Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act (1972) India and as endangered in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Ensuring the long term survival of the species necessitates the protection of habitat and ensuring habitat connectivity.

Although the population has somewhat increased over the past years, foaling rates in Wild Ass have been on the decline stage in recent years."

Major Threat in the Area:  Land use patterns have changed all around the protected area  Uninformed release of Sardar Sarovar canal excess waters into the Rann is having an impact on the micro-habitat  The short grasslands and is restricting the movement of Wild Ass and other species across the saline desert  Increased agricultural practices have converted lands into irrigation fields, resulting in shrinking habitat for the existing Wild Ass population.

ANNEXURE XII – SITE SPECIFIC CONSERVATION PLAN

 Religious activities, cattle breeding and influx of people have accelerated on the Islands or Bets of the Rann.  Prosopis juliflora invasion is an additional threat to the habitat.  An estimated 30-35% of the Wild Ass population lives outside the protected area and human-Wild Ass conflicts are increasing, particularly crop raiding.  The International boundary with Pakistan has been fenced thus restricting any possibility of Wild Ass movement beyond borders.

2. Anticipated Impact study due to project activities and importance of the conservation plan: There is no direct or significant impact envisaged due to the project on Wild Ass and surrounding other faunal characteristics including birds. However, in order to improve existing surrounding, natural habitat including wildlife within study area, there is a need to prepare the biological conservation plan in a limited way so as to maintain ecological asset intact. The main objective of preparation of conservation plan is to maintain the ecological equilibrium in the surrounding area in an aesthetic way. 3. Site Specific Survey: Considering the species composition, the vegetation notably grouped under Type 6B/C1 – Desert as per Champion and Seth (1968). These type of vegetation is closest to the degraded phase.

Hard wooded species like Acacia spp. Predominate and peculiar characteristic of the forest. The dominants vary from 4.5-10m in height and tend to be collected in clumps leaving bare ground in between. Regeneration by root suckers is common, notably in Prosopis and Capparis. Climbers are relatively numerous and also usually exhibit xerophytic adaptations. The woody growth is of all sizes of Prosopis and Capparis from the down to the dwarf shrubs with no differentiation in to storeys. The perennial grasses grow in clumps and tussocks. There is a thin growth of annual grasses after the rains.

Stunted Acacia leucophloea, Acacia tortilis, A. nilotica, are seen intermixed with Azadirachta indica, Ziziphus spp. It is mostly invaded by Prosopis juliflora. It is a biotically controlled community existing in a severely degraded state. Degraded scrub is the dominant vegetation type throughout the study area. Zizyphus nummularia together with Calotropis procera are dominant shrubs. Alongwith this Trianthema portulacastrum, Indigofera sp. are decumbent herbs. Salvadora persica occurs scattered in the scrub growth. Tribulus terrestris, Cenchrus ciliaris, Aristida spp., Boerrhavia repens, Achyranthes aspera are dominant.

During survey, indirect evidences in the form of dried pellets of wild ass were observed in notified sanctuary area while direct sightings of wild ass seen near along Anjar – Dharngadhara Highway near village Rapar which are almost 2.8 km away from the pipeline route. and Jackal is very common inhabitant in the area. The area supports variety of local as well as many migrants’ avifauna species. Total 11km pipeline passing through the wild ass sanctuary, however RoU will be 110000m.

4. Conservation Measures:  Awareness among People  A series of conservation awareness workshops for school children and villagers were organized in several villages in the fringe area connecting Little and Greater Rann of Kuchchh.  Creation of artificial Water holes:

 Artificial water holes in the fringe area of Little Rann of Kuchchh. Almost all natural water bodies were rapidly drying up during peak summer months. It was observed that few of artificial water holes were developed by the forest department. But it is not sufficient, thus, creation of artificial water holes is on of important need for wild ass and other local animals in the area.  Provision of more waterholes in the fringe area, so wild ass need not to visit village ponds or irrigation tanks which eventually keeps wild ass away from crop lands and prevents any disease transmission from domestic animals to wild ASS.

 Fencing Material at a subsidized rate:  In order to avoid man-wild ass conflicts and crop raiding issues in the surrounding area, project proponent may initiate to provide various fencing designs against large herbivores and subsequently provide the fencing material at a subsidized rate.

 Restriction of erosion:  The construction of pipeline particularly at the river and stream crossing shall be done during dry season to avoid disturbance of breeding seasons and soil erosion. The riverbed, embankments and dykes shall be restored adequately after installation of crossings.

5. Migratory Birds Rann of Kuchchh is land of vast salt marshes and semi-desert areas. The marshes are also a resting site for migratory birds, and are home of variety of birds including Grey Tit, Small Minivet, Common Iora, Lesser & Greater Flamingos, , Painted Sandgrouse etc. There is no birds sanctuary in the project area but variety of migratory birds were visited in the surround areas during winter season. The vast areas are virtually uninhabited except sparsely populated villages. The coastal creeks also provides habitat for flamingoes, herons, egrets.

Conservation Measures for Migratory Birds  Conservation through habitat improvement and awareness Education and Training

 Develop local school programs that focus on the migratory and other locally important birds like Saras crane and peacock birds, minimizing of human impacts, and prevention of egg-stealing and chick-capturing.

 Support farmer education and extension programs to improve farm practices and to provide information about sustainable agricultural practices and the importance of wetlands.

6. Compensatory Afforestation Majority of vegetation along the pipeline route are belonging to the thorny vegetation. Acacia leucophloea (Harmo Baval), Acacia nilotica (Baval), Azardirachta indica (Neem), Salvadora persica (Pilu, Khari Jar), Salvadora oleoides (Mithi Jar), Ailanthus aculea (Allu), Prosopis spicigera (Khijado) and the Prosopis juliflora (Gando Baval), etc. were observed to be predominantly occurring trees in this area and along the pipeline route.

The proposed pipeline has to pass through unavoidable Reserved/Protected Forest land namely Forest compensatory land, Sitagadh Protected Forest and Protected forest. Detailed survey will be carried out by M/s. GSPL Personnel and Forest Department officials. Thus, compensatory afforestation against the cutting of vegetation will be carried out by M/s. GSPL in consultation with respective forest department as per the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980.

7. Medicinal Plant in the area The present survey along the proposed pipeline route of rural areas of Kutch district located at western coastal region of India many species have been found to be effective drugs used by the villagers. Further, it is learnt that depenacy of the local people for their livelihood viz. food, fodder, medicine and shelter (except Rabaaris – animal breeders, nomadic community) marginally depends

8. Greenbelt Development/Afforestation Greenbelts are an effective mode of control of air pollution, where green plants form a surface capable of absorbing air pollutants and forming a sink of pollutants. The tree species identified for green belt development as mentioned in following table. GSPL will extend its afforestation program to plant the trees and shrubs of economic importance for local people along the pipeline route in consultation with State Forest Department. This will be helpful in reducing the conventional pollutants in the atmosphere as well as it will enhance the aesthetics and beauty of the landscape of the area.

These plant species have proven suitability for of inland Kuchchh, and it can be planted and grown as naturals. They also require minimum care and attention. As these species are hardy in nature, specific efforts for the plantation are not required. However, regular watering for the initial phase would be mandatory. For the plantation of tree species a pit should be of 60×60×60 cm3 while for the shrub and other perennial plants it would be of 45×45×45 cm3. At the time of plantation local soil is to be mixed with the optimum mixed of FYM or with agricultural soil.

9. Measures to be taken for the project activities area: Besides the measures suggested above other provisions made in environmental management plan and those suggested by the MoEF & CC, while granting forest diversion will have to be carefully followed in order to minimize the impact due to the project activities and other adverse impact created due to other activities which will result due to establishment, operation and maintenance of Anjar to Chotila Gas pipeline. The provisions of Forest Conservation Act 1980 and Rules made their under may have to be respected while taking of any activity including executive instructions issued by the government and those by different statutory authorities.
