Detailed Ecological Assessment Report 2008 – Keenjhar Lake 4.1.3 Observation records Out of the total 20 recorded species, 15 species were observed directly while the remaining five species were recorded on the basis of indirect evidences such as the presence of fecal materials, foot prints and interviews of local residents and wildlife watchers. The observation records of different mammals found in all the five sites are given in the Table 28.

According to the Pakistan IUCN Red List of Mammals 2005, one species is Critically Endangered (CE), one Endangered (E), three Vulnerable (VU), six Near Threatened (NT), four Least Concern (LC) and four Data Deficient (DD). Ten species are protected in Sindh under Sindh Wildlife Protection Ordinance 1972. Three species are enlisted in Appendix II while six species in Appendix I of the CITES category 2007. The conservation status of different mammals found at Indus for All Programme sites is given in Table 29 below. WWF Pakistan – Indus for All Programme Page 119 of 188

Given the variety of habitats at Chotiari Reservoir (desert, wetland and forest) it is not surprising that this site holds the highest index. Similarly, Keti Bunder comprises of both terrestrial and marine habitats which results in a high diversity index despite apparent environmental degradation both inland and in the creeks. Even with some variance in diversity, the evenness of diversity across the sites is quite regular, except for Chotiari Reservoir. These indexes do not take into account the diversity across seasons, something that is discussed further on in this chapter. WWF Pakistan – Indus for All Programme Page 120 of 188
