Proposal for Ecological Assessment of a Forest Land in Beligoda Forest reserve, Naula, Matale under the Mahaweli Water Security Investment Program

Preamble

The Moragahakanda Agricultural Development Project (MADP) involves harvesting water from Amban Gangs, one of the main tributaries of the Mahaweli Ganga which flows through the knuckles mountain range, by constructing a very large reservoir. Furthermore, this project resulted in the establishment of new settlements along the right and left banks and associated infrastructure. As part of the investment, Kaluganga reservoir was also being built damming Kalu Ganga to get excess water to Moragahakanda reservoir.

As part of Upper Elehera Canal Project under the Mahaweli Water Security Investment Program (MWSIP), there is a construction of Kaluganga-Moragahakanda Transfer Canal (KMTC). The contractor commissioned for the task - Sinohydro has cleared patch of forest outside of the approved area during the construction of access road to the proposed outlet portal of KMTC. Followed by immediate responsive actions, the MWSIP has requested (the through the letter “MMDE/MWSIP/PMU/ENV/UECP /Gen-Vol 2” dated 5'h February 2019) IUCN to undertake an assessment of ecological damage to assess the cost of damage related to said unauthorized forest clearance and provide a restoration plan for the area.

After a preliminary site visit undertaken by IUCN, the following proposal is presented for MWSIP’s consideration. Objectives

• To assess the present biodiversity around the cleared area. • To document the threats pertaining with above forest clearances to ecosystem. • To identify the short and long term measures to ecologically improve the degraded land. • To calculate the cost of damage to the ecosystem. • To prepare a restoration plan including above findings.

Project duration

Six weeks from signing the contract between MWSIP and IUCN, except the time taken by MWSIP for review draft report.

Project activities

Literature survey to document the previous biodiversity related data around the site.

Five day field assessment will be conducted and during the field following sub-activates will be carried out.

1. Conduct a rapid biodiversity assessment of the site in order to ascertain species richness of flora and fauna, and identify endemic or threatened species found in the area.

2. Identify the ecosystem services provided by the ecosystem. l 3. Identify the threats pertaining due to forest clearance to sustainability of the ecosystem.

4. Identify the recommendations related to sustainable restoration of the cleared area.

5. Finally prepare a restoration plan including ecological value, cost of damage, and restoration methodology. Methodology

Review of any existing published information and maps on the study areas, and gathering of baseline information.

Study Area

10m either side of the cleared road will be sampled to understand the biodiversity of the cleared forest stretch (approximately 0.3ha). Four key separate areas to be covered by the study are (see map 01); (i) Left bank of Kambarawa stream, where road was made clearing vegetation, (ii) Right bank of Kambarawa stream, where some trees & shrubs were cleared making a foot path, (iii) Causeway across part of Kambarawa stream by placing boulders and (iv) Island after the causeway at the bifurcation of Kambarawa stream.

F lo ra su rve y methodology I Species/population (higher plants) parameters of diverse vegetation types in the given forest areas will be studied using standard scientific techniques, with appropriate modifications to suit field conditions. The surveys will concentrate on documenting the plant species in and either side of the cleared stretch. The natural vegetation types will be surveyed under two major categories - tree dominated vegetation types / degraded forests; and non-forest vegetation types such as shrub lands, and grasslands, dominated by shrubs and herbaceous 2 life forms). Forest vegetation will be sampled using 2 x 50 m belt transect sampling technique with appropriate dimensions as recommended in standard methods.

Fauna survey methodology

All groups of vertebrates (freshwater fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) and selected invertebrate taxa (butterflies, dragonflies, land snails and aquatic snails) will be identified, and documented. The same floral sampling belt transects will be used to sample different groups of fauna in the project area (Table 1). Two to three night visits are also planned along the cleared road using flashlights, depending on the ground situation in the area. All efforts will be made to document the animals in a non-destructive manner.

Table 1. Summary of sampling techniques for fauna

■ .): -i io« « mm Fish Direct/indirect Bank counts; hand nets; communication with surrounding villagers

Amphibians Direct Visual encounter survey within the transect; night observation using touch lights, if possible

Reptiles Direct Visual encounter survey within the transect; communication with surrounding villagers

Birds Direct and indirect Point transects (visual and auditory observations)

Mammals Direct and indirect Belt transects (including presence indicated by tracks, fecal matter, feeding signs, carnivore scat analysis and calls); night sampling, if possible; communication with surrounding villagers

Butterflies and Direct Visual encounter survey within the transect dragonflies

Land and Direct Visual encounter survey within the transect aquatic snails

Identification of taxa

The species of plants and animals will be identified and classified using the latest standard published guides and keys available in Sri Lanka. In addition, the specimens deposited in the National Herbarium and the National Museum will be referred to for species authentication. Some of the key references that will be used to identify flora and fauna are given below in Tables 2 and 3. Threat statuses of species will be obtained from the 2012 National Red List of Sri Lanka.

4 Identification of Ecosystems

Fauna, flora and other physical characteristic will be used to identify the ecosystems of the area. Wildlife Management Plan of NWPCP will be used as a key document for identify ecosystem types while National Biodiversity Strategic Action Plan 2016-2022 will be used for ecosystem nomenclature.

Ecological damage calculation

Given the limited time for assessment, value of ecological damage of the unauthorized forest clearance will be assessed using benefit transfer methods where previously conducted primary valuation studies elsewhere will be used to derive the value of the damage in the given situation. This is the internationally accepted way of assessing value of environment when the baseline information, resources or time becomes a constraint while a decision is needed urgently. As given in the project team services of Environmental Economists including one International expert is built in for this component.

Expected outputs

A restoration plan containing the following:

■ Biodiversity (ecosystem and species richness, endemicity, threatened status);

■ Details of the ecosystem services provided by the project area;

■ Threats identify due to forest clearance

■ Cost of damage to the ecosystem

■ Recommendations and mitigations to restoration,of cleared site

■ Restoration plan with budget;

This work is expected to deliver within 6 weeks from the date of signing the agreement between MWSIP and IUCN. It is estimated 2 days for review the draft report by MWSIP any additional time taken by MWSIP for review will be counted outside of the said 6 weeks as it is beyond IUCN control,
