The assessment comprised of a desktop study and field survey to determine how matters of Commonwealth and state environmental significance may be impacted by the proposed development. The Project Area consists of the 500 m transmission line corridor, which includes the proposed alignment and a 250 m buffer either side. The Study Area for the desktop component of the ecological baseline assessment (i.e. database searches, review of existing biological surveys, data and mapping) included a 5 km buffer along both sides of the proposed transmission line alignment (i.e. 10 km corridor). The desktop study used data accessed via the Protected Matters Search Tool (PMST) to identify nationally threatened species potentially occurring in the Project Area, as well as other matters of national environmental significance protected under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The Biological Database of South Australia (BDBSA) was also used to identify records of any threatened species listed under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 (NPW Act) and the EPBC Act within the Project Area. The key results of the desktop study when integrated with the survey results include: • The PMST identified one nationally threatened flora species and 8 nationally threatened fauna species as potentially occurring within the Study Area. One species was considered likely to occur within the Project Area; • The BDBSA identified 282 fauna species with historical records from within the Study Area. This included two amphibian species, 177 avian species (including 6 exotic species), 26 mammal species (including eight exotic species) and 77 reptile species. Of these, 24 birds, one mammal and two reptiles were threatened at national or state level. • The BDBSA identified 469 flora species as having records from within the Study Area. Of these, eight species were threatened at state level. One species was known from the Project Area being observed during the field survey, Sandalwood (Santalum spicatum). Three species were considered likely to be present within the Project Area; Australian Broomrape (Orobanche cernua var. australiana), Ophioglossum polyphyllum (Large Adders Tongue) and Gratwickia monochaeta. The field survey included (1) a vegetation survey performed by accredited ecologists in accordance with the Rangelands Assessment Method (RAM) devised by the Native Vegetation Council, and (2) an opportunistic fauna assessment concurrently with the vegetation survey. The key results of the field survey include: • The key habitats identified in the Project Area were sand/low plains, dunes and swales, stony tablelands, the Arcoona plateau, salt lakes and ephemeral claypans, and ephemeral creeklines; • Twenty vegetation associations were identified and mapped along the length of the Project Area. Accurate mapping was difficult due highly variable transitional areas in several associations and many changes were based on co-dominant species presence/absence; • No threatened or protected flora or fauna species listed under the EPBC Act were observed; iii Carriewerloo Substation to Prominent Hill Transmission Line Ecological Baseline Assessment • Sandalwood (Santalum spicatum), which is listed as rare under the NPW Act was observed within the Acacia aneura Mixed Woodland vegetation association; • No threatened fauna listed under the NPW Act were observed; and • Annual weeds such as Carrichtera annua (Wards Weed), were observed in sparse and moderate covers intermittently throughout the Study Area, despite very little rain since the beginning of 2018 and exceptionally dry conditions present at the time of the assessment. Other weeds observed were common Mediterranean species largely considered as naturalised within the rangelands, including Carthamus lanatus (Star Thistle), Sonchus oleraceus (Sow Thistle), Malvastrum americanum (Malvastrum) and Brassica tournefortii (Wild Turnip). iv Carriewerloo Substation to Prominent Hill Transmission Line Ecological Baseline Assessment Table of Contents 1 INTRODUCTION ...................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Objectives ............................................................................................................................. 1 1.2 Project Area........................................................................................................................... 2 2 COMPLIANCE AND LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY ..................................................... 4 2.1 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 ............................................ 4 2.2 Native Vegetation Act 1991.................................................................................................... 4 2.3 National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 ..................................................................................... 4 2.4 Natural Resources Management Act 2004 ............................................................................. 5 3 BACKGROUND INFORMATION ............................................................................. 6 3.1 Project details ........................................................................................................................ 6 3.1.1 IBRA ......................................................................................................................... 6 3.1.2 Administrative boundaries ......................................................................................... 8 3.1.3 Existing Land use ...................................................................................................... 8 3.2 Arid zone systems ................................................................................................................. 8 3.2.1 Salt lakes .................................................................................................................. 9 4 METHODS ............................................................................................................. 10 4.1 Desktop study ...................................................................................................................... 10 4.1.1 Protected Matters Search Tool (PMST) – EPBC Act ................................................ 10 4.1.2 Biological Database of South Australia (BDBSA) – NPW Act ................................... 10 4.1.3 Assessment of the likelihood of occurrence ............................................................. 10 4.1.4 Desktop study limitations ........................................................................................

The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1. Through Resolution 11.19, the Conference of Parties adopted as the standard reference for bird taxonomy and nomenclature for Non-Passerine species the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1: Non-Passerines, by Josep del Hoyo and Nigel J.

  • Australia ‐ Part Two 2016 (With Tasmania Extension to Nov 7)
    Field Guides Tour Report Australia ‐ Part Two 2016 (with Tasmania extension to Nov 7) Oct 18, 2016 to Nov 2, 2016 Chris Benesh & Cory Gregory For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. The sunset over Cumberland Dam near Georgetown was especially vibrant. Photo by guide Cory Gregory. The country of Australia is a vast one, with a wide range of geography, flora, and fauna. This tour, ranging from the Top End over to Queensland (with some participants continuing on to Tasmania), sampled a diverse set of regions and an impressively wide range of birds. Whether it was the colorful selection of honeyeaters, the variety of parrots, the many rainforest specialties, or even the diverse set of world-class mammals, we covered a lot of ground and saw a wealth of birds. We began in the tropical north, in hot and humid Darwin, where Torresian Imperial-Pigeons flew through town, Black Kites soared overhead, and we had our first run-ins with Magpie-Larks. We ventured away from Darwin to bird Fogg Dam, where we enjoyed Large-tailed Nightjar in the predawn hours, majestic Black-necked Storks in the fields nearby, and even a Rainbow Pitta and Rose-crowned Fruit-Dove in the nearby forest! We also visited areas like Darwin River Dam, where some rare Black-tailed Treecreepers put on a show and Northern Rosellas flew around us. We can’t forget additional spots near Darwin, like East Point, Buffalo Creek, and Lee Point, where we gazed out on the mudflats and saw a variety of coast specialists, including Beach Thick-knee and Gull-billed Tern.
