  • 2017 City of York Biodiversity Action Plan
    CITY OF YORK Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2017 City of York Local Biodiversity Action Plan - Executive Summary What is biodiversity and why is it important? Biodiversity is the variety of all species of plant and animal life on earth, and the places in which they live. Biodiversity has its own intrinsic value but is also provides us with a wide range of essential goods and services such as such as food, fresh water and clean air, natural flood and climate regulation and pollination of crops, but also less obvious services such as benefits to our health and wellbeing and providing a sense of place. We are experiencing global declines in biodiversity, and the goods and services which it provides are consistently undervalued. Efforts to protect and enhance biodiversity need to be significantly increased. The Biodiversity of the City of York The City of York area is a special place not only for its history, buildings and archaeology but also for its wildlife. York Minister is an 800 year old jewel in the historical crown of the city, but we also have our natural gems as well. York supports species and habitats which are of national, regional and local conservation importance including the endangered Tansy Beetle which until 2014 was known only to occur along stretches of the River Ouse around York and Selby; ancient flood meadows of which c.9-10% of the national resource occurs in York; populations of Otters and Water Voles on the River Ouse, River Foss and their tributaries; the country’s most northerly example of extensive lowland heath at Strensall Common; and internationally important populations of wetland birds in the Lower Derwent Valley.

Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e49735. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e49735 Abstract Background Species traits affect how a species interacts with the environment and other species and thus determine the role of the species in an ecosystem. They affect not only population dynamics of a species across space and over time, but also community structure and function through their key role in the community assembly processes. Information on species traits is also highly relevant for conservation planning as they determine the adaptive ability of a species in the face of environmental changes. However, information on species traits is usually scarce and sparsely distributed amongst diverse types of literature and sources.

  • Conservation Advice for the Karst Springs and Associated Alkaline Fens of the Naracoorte Coastal Plain Bioregion
    The Threatened Species Scientific Committee provided their advice to the Minister on 31 July 2020. The Minister approved this Conservation Advice on 3 December 2020 and agreed that no recovery plan is required at this time. Conservation Advice1 for the Karst springs and associated alkaline fens of the Naracoorte Coastal Plain Bioregion This document combines the approved conservation advice and listing assessment for the threatened ecological community. It provides a foundation for conservation action and further planning. Karst springs and alkaline fens, Ewen Ponds © Copyright, Anthony Hoffman Conservation Status The Karst springs and associated alkaline fens of the Naracoorte Coastal Bioregion is listed in the Endangered category of the threatened ecological communities list under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The ecological community was assessed by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee, who found it to be eligible for listing as Endangered and recommended that a recovery plan is not required at this time. The Committee’s assessment and recommendations are at Section 6. The Committee’s assessment of the eligibility against each of the listing criteria is: Criterion 1: Vulnerable Criterion 2: Endangered Criterion 3: Insufficient data Criterion 4: Endangered Criterion 5: Insufficient data Criterion 6: Insufficient data The main factors that make the threatened ecological community eligible for listing in the Endangered category are its historic losses to drainage, clearing and resulting fragmentation, and ongoing threats to its integrity and function, particularly from hydrological changes. The Karst springs and associated alkaline fens of the Naracoorte Coastal Plain Bioregion occurs within country (the traditional lands) of the Boandik and the Gunditjmara peoples.

    Biological Conservation 248 (2020) 108699 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Biological Conservation journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/biocon Short communication A network of small protected areas favoured generalist but not specialized wetland birds in a 30-year period T ⁎ Mattia Brambillaa, , Franco Rizzollia, Alessandro Franzoia, Michele Caldonazzib, Sandro Zanghellinib, Paolo Pedrinia a Museo delle Scienze, Sezione Zoologia dei Vertebrati, Corso del Lavoro e della Scienza 3, I-38122 Trento, Italy b Albatros srl, Via Venezia, 129, I-38122 Trento, Italy ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Protected areas (PAs) have been established to promote the long-term conservation of biodiversity and eco- Alpine region systems. Wetlands, which represent a key habitat worldwide, have been largely destroyed, particularly in more Conservation industrialized countries, and their remnants are now often preserved by PA networks, especially in the European Ecological connectivity Union. We tested the effectiveness of a PA network of 26 small wetlands in preserving wetland birds over a Italy thirty-year period (1989–2019), by investigating changes in species occurrence and relating them to the species' Management ecological specialization. Out of 23 species, 10 showed an increase in occurrence, 7 remained stable and 6 Waterbirds declined. The number of occupied habitats (between 1 and 8) was significantly associated with the species' trend: specialized species decline, whereas generalists increased. Species with increasing occurrence mostly included common birds, whereas the declining ones were all species with an unfavourable conservation status at the national level. Generalist species increased their occurrence rates, whereas species with stricter, more specialized requirements, generally underwent contraction, suggesting that the conservation of isolated wetlands, managed according to criteria not strictly focused on birds, is not enough to preserve the more specialized species.

Wetland dependent birds in Beeshazari lake system was studied by using Area Search and Scan Sampling methods. We recorded a total of 44 wetland bird species belonging to 11 families and 9 orders. These lakes support a total of 7.5% of globally threatened and 8.93% of the nationally threatened birds. The species diversity and abundance were more in winter than in summer seasons. Fishermen and tourist pressure caused significantly negative impact on abundance and distribution of wetland birds. The major threats to wetland birds in this area were human disturbance, habitat degradation and declining water quality due to eutrophication and invasion of alien plant species such as water Hyacinth and Southern Cutgrass.

  • Zapornia Bicolor[I]
    Fading sight of endemic Zapornia bicolor (Walden, 1872) in Eastern Himalayan Biodiversity Hotspot Prakash Pradhan West Bengal Biodiversity Board, Department of Environment, Government of West Bengal, Salt Lake, Sector-III, FD415A, Poura Bhawan, 4th Floor, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, 700 106. email: [email protected] Abstract s A biosurvey was conducted in Samendu Lake and its surrounding wetlands of Eastern t n Himalayan Hill region of Mirik in Darjeeling in West Bengal, India. In the study, endemic i r and locally rare bird species Zapornia bicolor (Walden, 1872) was studied with point transect P e method regarding its population and habitat. Very low population (only 21 individuals) and r P habitat degradation (encroachment, pollution, invasive plant species) was observed at the study sites. Conservation measures for this species have been suggested. Keywords: Bird, Conservation, Darjeeling, India, Mirik, Samendu Lake. Introduction Himalayan Biodiversity Hotspot harbors a wide variety of faunal bioresource, representing 980 species from the class Aves, 15 of which are endemic (CEPF). The present investigation deals with the endemic yet uncommon bird species Zapornia bicolor (Walden 1872) [syn. Amaurornis bicolor (Walden, 1872)] [Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, Class Aves, Order Gruiformes and Family Rallidae], whose first specimens were collected in Darjeeling by B.H. Hodgson between 1844 and 1858. The specimen was described from a BMNH submission taken at 880 amsl at Rungbee (=Rangbi/ Rambhi), in Darjeeling District during November, 1870 (Walden 1872). Meanwhile the species was also discovered from Sikkim, Lebong (Darjeeling), Shillong, Meghalaya (Godwin-Austen, 1874; Sharpe 1894). Yet, Inskipp and Round (1989) has mentioned that there is no report regarding this bird from Darjeeling from the past fifty years.
