Strategic management of Aleppo Pines on Lower Eyre

individual minerals or mineral levels that are toxic to EPYTBCs. The fact that the majority <strong>of</strong>
EPYTBC’s diet is <strong>Aleppo</strong> Pine seed indicates that the resource is critical in supplying the population
with its daily energy requirements.
The priorities and recommendations presented in this report are guidelines only. They are
presented to assist stakeholders involved in <strong>Aleppo</strong> Pine <strong>management</strong>.
Criteria for <strong>Aleppo</strong> Pine control or retention/<strong>management</strong>
<strong>Aleppo</strong> Pine sites are identified for control (local eradication) if:
1. The site poses a high infestation risk to native vegetation such as high quality roadside
remnants, threatened vegetation communities, threatened flora sites, Heritage Agreements,
national parks and reserves, and
2. The site is more than 5 kilometres from the EPYTBC breeding area (identified on map), and
3. There are no records <strong>of</strong> EPYTBC feeding at the site within the last 10 years, or
4. The site was 100% burnt during the January 2005 bushfire.
<strong>Aleppo</strong> Pine sites are recommended for retention and <strong>management</strong> if:
1. The site occurs in or within 5 kilometres <strong>of</strong> the EPYTBC breeding area, or
2. EPYTBC have been recorded feeding at the site within the last 10 years AND the site poses a
minimum infestation risk to native vegetation such as high quality roadside remnants,
threatened vegetation communities, threatened flora sites, Heritage Agreements, national
parks and reserves, or
3. The site is on private land and poses a minimum infestation risk to biodiversity values.
