The birds living in this area can only be species which are adapted to live in this type of regenerating and man-made vegetation, vegetation types which are not in short supply in the wider area and in other parts of the country dominated by shifting cultivation. Therefore, the project will not

Some species of aquatic birds will find a suitable habitat in the reservoir. 10.2.3 Reptiles and Amphibians 10.3 Impacts The National Biodiversity Action Plan (NBSAP 2004) of Liberia mentions 67 reptiles including two endemic species. There are three crocodiles in the country, the Osteolaemus tetraspis (African dwarf crocodile), the Crocodylus niloticus (Nile crocodile) and the Crocodylus cataphractus (African slender-snouted crocodile). The African dwarf crocodile is listed as vulnerable. There are two marine turtles, namely, the critically endangered Dermochelys coriacea (Leatherback), and Chelonia mydas (Green Turtle), is listed as endangered, and two terrestrial species, Kinixys homeana (Hinged-backed Tortoise) which is vulnerable and Kinixys erosa (Serrated Hingebacked Tortoise). In addition to that, the field work carried out for this study revealed the presence of at least one species of freshwater tortoise, a soft shelled tortoise (cf. Trionyx sp.), which lives in the river in the project area. Additionally, there are at least 12 venomous and several non poisonous snakes, among them Typhlops leucostictus (Liberia Worm Snake), which is endemic to Liberia. 38 amphibians including 4 endemic species are recorded in the National Biodiversity Action Plan (NBSAP 2004). A study carried out in 2007 in 3 national forests in Liberia within 15 sampling days collected at least 40 species (Annika Hillers and Mark Rödel, 2007) (See Annex 10, Table 30-9). It is assumed that there are probably several more amphibians in Liberia. As mentioned above, the Project does not affect any valuable habitat, since it will submerge only exactly the area which already was a reservoir 10 years ago. Most importantly, no primary forests are affected by the Project. For these reasons, impacts of the project on fauna, if any, are very small and negligible. The only moment where the Project can have a direct impact on the local fauna is the moment of reservoir impoundment. Animals which are not able to swim might get drowned, especially if they will be trapped by the rising water on plants or on islands forming temporarily, before being submerged. This undesirable effect can be substantially reduced by pre-impoundment reservoir area clearing (see Section 8.3.5), which will drive most animals out of the directly affected area before impoundment. A further impact on fauna will be the increased pressure due to hunting activities of the local population and of the future work force. 10.4 Mitigation Measures � Carry out reservoir clearing before impoundment; this will have a positive effect on water quality and will reduce the risk of animals drowning during impoundment. � Hunting by members of the work force needs to be strictly forbidden. Given the land use pattern and the absence of highly valuable habitats within and in the near surrounding of the reservoir, no other mitigation measures for fauna are required.
