endangered ENDANGERED (EN) endemism Ecoregion Fauna (Protection and Control) Act, 1976 Forest Stewardship Council FSC Principles and Criteria fundamental IUCN adj : (of flora or fauna) in imminent danger of extinction; “an endangered species”. www.dictionary.com A taxon is Endangered when the best available evidence indicates that it meets any of the criteria A to E for Endangered (see Section V), and it is therefore considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild. www.redlist.org Definition of an endemic species: a species which is only found in a given region or location and nowhere else in the world. This definition requires that the region that the species is endemic to, be defined, such as a “site endemic” (e.g. just found on Mount Celaque),6 a “national endemic” (e.g. found only in Honduras), a “geographical range endemic” (e.g. found in the Himalayan region, which however covers several Himalayan countries and therefore is not a national endemic), or a political region endemic (e.g. found in countries of Central America). www.birdlist.org An area defined by environmental conditions and natural features; a region defined by its ecology. www.dictionary.com. Landscape planning units for WWF, modified version for PNG – Conservation Planning Region (CPR) of the DEC. The DEC is using CPR as a base tool to analyse future conservation initiatives (e.g. DEC vegetation change assessment – intersected CPR + PNGFA FIMS Vegetation Types datasets). An Act that protects fauna within the following PAs such as Wildlife Management Areas, Fauna Sanctuaries, Nature Reserves and appointment of wildlife rangers (detailed information obtain from DEC). The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international network to promote responsible management of the world’s forests. FSC brings people together to find solutions to the problems created by bad forestry practices and to reward good forest management practices. www.fsc.org The Forest Stewardship Council has 10 Principles of Forest Stewardship. These Principles and associated Criteria form the basis for all FSC forest management standards. www.fsc.org adj 1: serving as an essential component; “a cardinal rule”; “the central cause of the problem”; “an example that was fundamental to the argument”; Eg:“computers are fundamental to modern industrial structure” [syn: cardinal, central, key, primal] 2: being or involving basic facts or principles; “the fundamental laws of the universe”; “a fundamental incompatibility between them”; “these rudimentary truths”; “underlying principles” [syn: rudimentary, underlying] 3: farreaching and thoroughgoing in effect especially on the nature of something; “the fundamental revolution in human values that has occurred”; Eg: “the book underwent fundamental changes”; “committed the fundamental error of confusing spending with extravagance”; “profound social changes” [syn: profound] n : the lowest tone of a harmonic series [syn: fundamental frequency, first harmonic] www.dictionary.com The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

(Ted Mamu) A plan prepared under section 27 (1)(d) under the Conservation Areas Act, 1980 (obtain detailed information from DEC) An area declared by the Minister for Environment to protect only those animals declared as protected. [Fauna (Protection and Control) Act 1966]. Peat swamp forests are forested areas with extreme conditions of wetlands and characteristics of forest with composition of dead litters and twigs. For example, the forest on the southern part of Lake Kutubu in the Southern Highland Province, PNG, is a peat swamp forest with an average of 1 meter depth. Species that are only found within Papua New Guinea. Note that these are distinct from local endemics. (Ted Mamu) The term 'population' is used in a specific sense in the Red List Criteria that is different to its common biological usage. Population is here defined as the total number of individuals of the taxon. For functional reasons, primarily owing to differences between life forms, population size is measured as numbers of mature individuals only. In the case of taxa obligately dependent on other taxa for all or part of their life cycles, biologically appropriate values for the host taxon should be used. www.redlist.org A wetland which fulfils the criteria set forth within the Convention of Wetlands (Sander van den Ende) Taxa with small world populations that are not at present 'Endangered' or 'Vulnerable', but are at risk. These taxa are usually localized within restricted geographical areas or habitats or are thinly scattered over a more extensive range. www.redlist.org The term ‘reduced impact logging’ has become essentially interchangeable in the vernacular with timber harvesting. ‘Reduced impact logging technology’ is a collective term that refers to the use of scientific and engineering principles, in combination with education and training, to improve the application of labour, equipment and operating methods in the harvesting of industrial timber. www.fao.org Refugia is the term used to describe an area where susceptible corn borers will be able to survive when Bt corn use becomes wide spread. One of the biggest concerns with Bt corn is that its widespread use will lead to selection for corn borers that are resistant to Bt. Maintaining a population of susceptible corn borers is thought to be one way of reducing the speed of resistance build-up. www.dictionary.com Places of cultural and traditional significance including initiation grounds, ancestral spirits and witchcraft practices, rituals and taboos.
