Detailed Ecological Assessment Report 2008 – Keenjhar Lake Chotiari Reservoir and Keenjhar Lake had the highest averaged disturbance factor against the species that were recorded there. Though this is an arbitrary scoring it does give an indication over the overall threat to large mammals at each site. Looking at general issues over the sites, Table 41 lists all the potential threats and attributes scores to them (ranging from 1 to 5, see legend below Table 38) across the sites. Figure 21 gives the aggregated score for all sites. Table 38 – Threats ranking for large mammals at sites S.

Detailed Ecological Assessment Report 2008 – Keenjhar Lake Most of the sites have similar ranking with Keenjhar Lake on top followed by Pai Forest, Keti Shah and Chotiari Reservoir. Surprisingly Keti Bunder has significantly less disturbance than other sites, perhaps due to relatively less human population. 4.2 Small mammals 4.2.1 Species recorded A total of 23 small mammal species were observed or collected from the five sites of the Indus for All Programme, 15 from Keti Bunder, 17 from Keenjhar, 19 from Chotiari, 14 from Pai forest and 9 from Keti Shah riverine forest. Most of these species were recorded in summer. The table (Table 39) below gives an account of species found at each site.
