Project overview
The Kedron Brook Fauna Habitat Study was
commissioned by the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland to
assess the current status of wildlife habitat along Kedron Brook
This report describes the potential and
existing fauna habitat along Kedron Brook. Information is based
on site inspections and discussion with Bushcare site coordinators.
Fauna habitat is described in terms of the components of a particular
ecosystem that are used by fauna.
“Fauna Groups” are identified in this report
as species that have similar lifestyle or habitat requirements. The
components of the ecosystems used by different fauna groups are
described.
The abundance and quality of habitat for
fauna occurring in the study area was reported. Some limiting factors
were identified; these are of a general nature, as systematic
observation over several seasons is required to determine the patterns
of use of habitat by wildlife.
Significant fauna habitat in terms of its
rarity, threats or potential is identified. Threats to fauna are
described with a brief discussion of mechanisms to mitigate or avoid
threats.
An overview of methods for carrying out
fauna observations and habitat assessment are provided. These are aimed
at providing Bushcare groups with some general guidelines with which to
undertake consistent site assessment.
