Info

• The Black Bittern, which requires dense valley vegetation, and the Red-winged Fairywren are slow to recover following fire (Rowley et al., 1988; Wardell-Johnson, karri bird study data, Manjimup). Reptiles • The habitat requirements of the Short-nosed Snake (Notechis minor), one of the most restricted snakes in Australia, are unknown, although specimens collected are from moist sites in coastal dunes or swampy terrain. Invertebrates • Although some research has been carried out on the Park's invertebrates more needs to be known about these special and unique fauna. OBJECTIVES • Protect all native species, particularly those that are threatened or vulnerable to disturbance. • Re-introduce native animals that were once found in the Park if resources are available and research shows benefits to the Park's biota. • Control pests where this does not compromise other conservation objectives. ACTIONS General 1. Protect habitats from dieback disease (see Section 9.0 Disease), inappropriate fire regimes (see Section 10.0 Fire) and human disturbance. 2. Control introduced species that are damaging or could potentially damage native fauna provided that this does not compromise other conservation objectives (see Section 12.0 Feral Animals). Threatened and Priority Species 3. Priorities for the protection of priority mammals in decreasing order are the Chuditch (re-introduction and monitoring), Western Ringtail Possum (reintroduction and monitoring) and Honey Possum (monitoring). Priorities for vulnerable birds are Noisy Scrub-bird (monitoring and re-introduction) and Western Bristlebird (re-introduction). Research and Monitoring 32
4. Continue to identify key and vulnerable species and develop a sound knowledge of the whole community response to disturbances such as dieback disease, fire, recreation use and management actions. 5. Determine the species composition of selected groups of invertebrates likely to include species that are vulnerable and of high conservation value (for example, molluscs and spiders) in the full range of community types. 6. Determine the ecology, taxonomic status, management and climate requirements of endemic relictual invertebrate species of narrow habitat requirements. 7. Investigate the habitat requirements and ecology of vulnerable species in relation to the impact of predation, fire regimes, dieback disease occurrence and climate. 8. Use the results of the above investigation to determine the processes required to maintain or enhance populations of vulnerable vertebrate species. 33
