T. R. Associates (NABET Accredited EIA Consultant) (NABET/EIA/1922/RA0142 (Rev.01)) was appointed by M/s. Reolaxe Lami Art LLP to carry out the Environmental Impact Assessment study for their proposed project of Resins. M/s. T. R. Associates performed Ecology & Biodiversity Study during their Baseline monitoring in the Post monsoon period of October to December, 2018 Total 168 plant species, 7 herpetofauna, 38 birds and 6 species of mammals were reported from the buffer zone of M/s. Reolaxe Lami Art LLP in the study during the baseline monitoring. However, no threatened biodiversity was reported with high density or richness from the core and buffer zones of the study area. Schedule 1 species (Indian peafowl, Shikra & pied harrier) was found in the buffer area. In addition, no true multi species forest type was recorded in the vicinity of the five kilometer radii of the project site. There are no direct or indirect threats predicted due to production at project location. The terrestrial ecosystem is considerably free from the project related impacts as the project associated activities do not required any additional land. Schedule 1 species Peacock, Shikra & pied harrier was found in the buffer area of the site during the Ecology & Biodiversity study. Conservation Plan for Peacock Schedule - 1 species, Peacock was found in the buffer area of the site during the Ecology & Biodiversity study. Peacock or Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus) is a familiar and universally known large pheasant. It is a National Bird of India, belongs to Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972 obsereved in some of the villgaes of the study area. Apperance: Page 3 of 10 ANNEXURE - 9 CWLW SUBMIT PROOF & CONSERVATION PLAN The male has a spectacular glossy green long tail feathers that may be more than 60 percent of the bird’s total body length. These feathers have blue, golden green and copper colored ocelli (eyes). The long tail feathers are used for mating rituals like courtship displays. The feathers are arched into a magnificent fan shaped form across the back of the bird and almost touching the found on both sides. Females do not have these graceful tail feathers. They have the fan like crest with whitish face and throat, chestnut brown crown and hind neck, metallic green upper breast and mantle, white belly and brown back rump and tail. Their primaries are dark brown. Classification: 1 Kingdom : Animalia 2 Phylum : Chordata 3 Class : Aves 4 Order : Galliformes 5 Family : Phasianidae 6 Genus : Pavo 7 Species : Pavo cristatus 8 Local Name: Peacock or Mor Peacock Habitat Study Approach : The core zone and the area near to the project site was found and obsedrved as the habitat of Schedule I species Pavo cristatus which is commonly known as Peacock or Mor. Study has been done in order to do biological survey of core and buffer zone of the study area. Sightings and Habitat Use: Direct Peacock habitat was sighted at the area nearby project size as welll some of villages covered in the core zone which was the nearby villages from the project site. The area was found human dominated and associated surround habitats i.e. near agricultural fields and water bodies. This species is well adapted to natural village environment. Threats in the Study Area: No any threat has been observed for peacock or its habitats in the study area. Though, habitat improvement programme is recommended for improvement of population status of this national bird “Peacock”. Conservation Measures: Page 4 of 10 ANNEXURE - 9 CWLW SUBMIT PROOF & CONSERVATION PLAN Direct and indirect approach is required to provide effective conservation, which is recommended as under: By conducting awareness programmes for conservation of peacocks in the near by area. Increasing the tree cover in the core area for shelter and roosting of peacocks. This can be achieved by planting of tree in core zone. Some local species such as Jamfal, Dadam, Karela, kapas, magphali, Limbu, Ambo, etc. can be planted. Planting of tree groves in school compounds in the nearby villages of the project site can also be carried out. Some provision of rewards to informers for the control of poaching and illegal trade in wildlife. Provision of veterinary care and cages for injured or sick deformed birds. Aspects: 1.Plantation: Planatation of plant species suggested by forest department and local people should be carried out once in a year in 5 villages mentioned above. This will provide shelter to the pecocks and more habitats will be develped. 2.Awareness Programmes: Awareness programes for peacock conservation should be carried out once in a year in the schools of different nearby villages. The objectives of this programme will be, To creat awareness to the people in the village about the forest laws regarding punishments being given for killing the peacocks; knowledge of giving first aid treatment in case of injury; motivation to use Natural fertilizes and insecticides in Agriculture. Students will be taught about the behavioral and family studies of the Peacock. Oath for conservation of peacock will be taken by students and the villagers. Conservation Plan for Shikra & The pied harrier Bird of prey called raptor is recorded under Accipitridae family and distributed very commonly in and around the proposed project landscape and found mainly in agriculture ecosystems associate with seasonal wetlands and riverine. The following are main characters and ecological details for this species is mentioned in various published literatures and references including Wikipedia Google (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikra): The shikra is a small raptor (26–30 cm long) and like most other Accipiter hawks, this species has short rounded wings and a narrow and somewhat long tail. Adults are whitish on the underside with fine rufous bars while the upperparts are grey. The lower belly is less barred and the thighs are whitish. Males have a red iris while the females have a less Page 5 of 10 ANNEXURE - 9 CWLW SUBMIT PROOF & CONSERVATION PLAN red (yellowish orange) iris and brownish upperparts apart from heavier barring on the underparts. The females are slightly larger. The mesial stripe on the throat is dark but narrow. In flight the male seen from below shows a light wing lining (underwing coverts) and has blackish wing tips. When seen from above the tail bands are faintly marked on the lateral tail feathers and not as strongly marked as in the Eurasian sparrowhawk. The central tail feathers are unbended and only have a dark terminal band. Juveniles have dark streaks and spots on the upper breast and the wing is narrowly barred while the tail has dark but narrow bands. A post juvenile transitional plumage is found with very strong barring on the contour feathers of the underside.[3] The call is pee-wee, the first note being higher and the second being longer. In flight the calls are shorter and sharper kik-ki ..

  • India: Kaziranga National Park Extension
    INDIA: KAZIRANGA NATIONAL PARK EXTENSION FEBRUARY 22–27, 2019 The true star of this extension was the Indian One-horned Rhinoceros (Photo M. Valkenburg) LEADER: MACHIEL VALKENBURG LIST COMPILED BY: MACHIEL VALKENBURG VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM INDIA: KAZIRANGA NATIONAL PARK EXTENSION February 22–27, 2019 By Machiel Valkenburg This wonderful Kaziranga extension was part of our amazing Maharajas’ Express train trip, starting in Mumbai and finishing in Delhi. We flew from Delhi to Guwahati, located in the far northeast of India. A long drive later through the hectic traffic of this enjoyable country, we arrived at our lodge in the evening. (Photo by tour participant Robert Warren) We enjoyed three full days of the wildlife and avifauna spectacles of the famous Kaziranga National Park. This park is one of the last easily accessible places to find the endangered Indian One-horned Rhinoceros together with a healthy population of Asian Elephant and Asiatic Wild Buffalo. We saw plenty individuals of all species; the rhino especially made an impression on all of us. It is such an impressive piece of evolution, a serious armored “tank”! On two mornings we loved the elephant rides provided by the park; on the back of these attractive animals we came very close to the rhinos. The fertile flood plains of the park consist of alluvial silts, exposed sandbars, and riverine flood-formed lakes called Beels. This open habitat is not only good for mammals but definitely a true gem for some great birds. Interesting but common birds included Bar-headed Goose, Red Junglefowl, Woolly-necked Stork, and Lesser Adjutant, while the endangered Greater Adjutant and Black-necked Stork were good hits in the stork section.

  • Birds of Prey Bull.No. 3 (1986) Birds of Prey in Vietnam
    Birds of Prey Bull.No. 3 (1986) Birds of Prey in Vietnam G.E.Morris This account is based on Delacour and Jabouille (1931), Vo Quy (1975, 1983, 1986; pers. comm.), Fischer in the Hanoi area from 1958-64 (1961, 1965, 1974) and my own brief observations in southern parts of the country in Jan/Feb 1984 and Jan 1986 (less than 70h observation on foot). I am not aware of any other published accounts, except that of Wildash (1968), which relies heavily on Delacour and Jabouille for distribution information. Information from south China (Cheng, 1976, in Chinese) is referred to, where relevant to north Vietnam. The threats to birds of prey in Vietnam are similar to those in other tropical countries. Loss of forest cover is worse than it might appear on paper since it frequently involves fragmentation and invasion by essentially-subsistence farmers, who rely on forest animals and birds as a source of meat. Wood and charcoal is the main source of fuel for the rapidly-expanding population in the south. It seems likely that pesticides (including DDT) and rodenticides are widely and often indiscriminately used and may well be responsible for the dramatic declines in populations of kites (Milvus, Haliastur), vultures (Gyps) and crows (Corvus). The importance of direct persecution by fishermen and farmers is unclear, but domestic fowl are a very valuable comnodity in Vietnam and most large birds of prey are regarded as "chicken-killers". The effects on raptor populations of spraying forests with defoliants contaminated with dioxin, as carried out by the American military before 1975, are unclear and it is particularly unfortunate that no population data are available immediately before and after this period to establish any effects.

E-mail: [email protected] [GK] Chandrashekar Sundaram, No. 18, Thilakar Street, Krishna Nagar Extension, Ullagaram, Chennai 600091, Tamil Nadu, India. E-mail: [email protected][CS] Manuscript received on 20 February 2016. he Eastern Marsh Harrier Circus spilonotus was formerly considered a conspecific of the Western Marsh HarrierCircus Taeruginosus. It has been considered a winter visitor to parts of north–eastern India, but is a vagrant elsewhere (Ali & Ripley 2001;Grimmett et al. 2001; Naoroji 2006). In fact, Rasmussen & Anderton (2005) listed this species as hypothetical since there were no established specimens from South Asia. However, they included it in the second edition of their work (Rasmussen & Anderton 2012) on the basis of a recent photograph (see below). While sub-adults of the species are harder to separate from either the Western Marsh-, or the Pied Harrier C. melanoleucos, identification of adult birds is generally straightforward. Here we report a first sighting of an adult male Eastern Marsh Harrier, with photographic evidence, from Chennai, Tamil Nadu. 93. On 06 February 2016, we sighted an Eastern Marsh Harrier male flying on the periphery of a lake near Irungattukottai, Chennai (13.02°N, 79.98°E); CS photographed it [92-94].

  • Roost Counts of Harriers Circus Spanning Seven Winters in Andhra Pradesh, India
    FORKTAIL 16 (2000): 1-3 Roost counts of harriers Circus spanning seven winters in Andhra Pradesh, India T. GANESH and P. KANNIAH A roost of four species of wintering harriers (Eurasian Marsh Circus aeruginosus, Montagu C. pygargus, Pallid C. macrourus and Hen Harrier C. cyaneus) was monitored for a period of seven years from 1986 to 1994 at a grassland site near Secunderabad, India. Eurasian Marsh Harriers accounted for more than 30% of harriers at the roost, followed by ringtails and juveniles of Montagu’s, Pallid and Hen Harriers. A peak roost of over 200 harriers occurred in 1988–1989. Counts were not highly variable between years but a perceptible fall in numbers was noticed over the years. Peak numbers occurred in October and there was no significant increase later in the winter. Local factors such as grass cutting probably affected roost numbers. A survey of a network of sites is proposed to better ascertain regional trends in numbers. INTRODUCTION was recorded. Birds already in the area before counting started and those in an adjacent pre-roost site were taken Long-term monitoring of bird numbers in India has account of. Complete counts of birds milling before been carried out for waterfowl species (Perennou et al. roosting were also made and were compared with the 1994), and for grassland birds such as the Great Indian arrival counts. Both the counts tallied well and so counts Bustard (Rahmani and Manakadan 1988) and floricans during milling were not analysed. (Narayan et al. 1989). Other migrants such as raptors Counts were generally made at intervals of ten days.
