Info

• The movement of biota between isolated blocks of remnant vegetation in Dryandra is restricted by fenced and cleared farmland. Vegetated corridors linking these blocks will aid in the dispersal of biota, as well as providing additional habitat and improving landscape quality. Existing corridors are not currently monitored. • The use of mallet plantations by native vertebrate animals is influenced by the age of the plantation, the amount of regrowth other than mallet and the inclusion of natural vegetation isolates or rocky outcrops (Ninox 1991). Older mallet stands with a relatively large number of regrowth original eucalypts, such as Wandoo and Powderbark Wandoo, support a greater diversity than young, uniform stands. OBJECTIVES • Maintain viable populations of all the species of native animals presently in Dryandra. • Maximise the value of Dryandra to mobile elements of the native fauna by increasing vegetated links between remnants. • Re-introduce native animals that were once found in Dryandra.

Continue to control, and if practicable eradicate, introduced species that are damaging or could potentially damage native fauna (see Section 21. Introduced Animals). 2. Protect habitats from plant disease (see Section 18. Disease), introduced plants (see Section 20. Weeds), inappropriate fire regimes (see Section 19. Fire) and human activities (see Section 13. Recreation Activities and Section 15. Timber Production). 23
3. Facilitate support for fauna conservtion by encouraging and promoting the use of Dryandra for nature-based tourism purposes (see Section 13.1 Nature Study and Appreciation). Threatened Species 4. Implement recovery plans, in conjunction with nominated recovery teams, for threatened species which occur or once occurred in Dryandra. The plans may include recommendations to re- introduce native animals that were once found in Dryandra and to use Dryandra as a source of native animals for re-introduction into other areas. 5. Where a fauna species thought to be at risk in Dryandra is not covered by a specific recovery plan, determine and implement management required to maintain or enhance populations using the results of current research and monitoring, and where appropriate, using specialist assistance. Corridors 6. In consultation with neighbours, Land Conservatin District Committees and local authorities, seek to establish and protect vegetation corridors between Woodland remnants. 7. Provide information to the public, particularly the farming community, on the values of vegetation corridors and remnant vegetation to both sustainable agriculture and native biota. Research and Monitoring 8. Encourage and carry out general research on fauna ecology in Dryandra, with particular emphasis on threatened and specially protected species, and those species thought to be at risk (eg. frogs). 9. Encourage and carry out research on the abundance, diversity and ecology of invertebrate fauna and on the impact of present management activities upon invertebrate fauna. 10. Record and describe the frequency, intensity, and impact of severe disturbances (natural and human) affecting animal communities. As far as practicable, also describe recovery of populations following disturbance. 11. Encourage and carry out research on the use of corridors in the Dryandra area. 24
