BIOTIC STRUCTURE AND DIVERSITY
AIMS SUMMARY
VEGETATION STRUCTURE
KPI 1 | Vegetation Monitoring in Past-Impacted Areas
To measure, restore (in impacted areas) and maintain vegetation structure and structural diversity typical of each
vegetation community within the reserve
PLANT DIVERSITY
KPI 1 | Diversity Measurements and Surveys
To identify, modify or remove and restore man-made structures which impede natural geomorphic processes.
ANIMAL DIVERSITY
KPI 1 | Incidental Animal Sightings
To develop a record based on casual and incidental animal sightings that can over time offer insight towards density,
probability and distribution of the animal species on Karingani.
KPI 2 | Large Mammal Survey
To effectively monitor the trends in large mammal populations on Karingani
KPI 3 | Vulture and Stork Survey
To develop an understanding and record of the Vulture and Stork breeding status on Karingani.
KPI 4 | Large Mammal Re-Establishment
To design and maintain appropriate strategies for the re-introduction and re-enforcement of large mammal species

ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION

PRODUCTIVITY AND CYCLING
KPI 1 | Herbaceous Productivity
To restore herbaceous cover and productivity to sites impacted by past human perturbation.
HABITAT INTERACTIONS
KPI 1 | Trophic Interactions
To restore and maintain characteristic trophic interactions within the reserve where they have been impacted by past
human interventions.
KPI 2 | Landscape Strategies

To design and implement landscape strategies that promote the restoration and maintenance of positive habitat
interactions
RESILIENCE AND RECRUITMENT
KPI 1 | Response to Disturbance (Fire and Drought)
To restore and maintain ecological resilience of the reserve, with particular reference to human impact areas

RESEARCH AND COLLABORATIONS
To conduct and ensure on-going scientific research to determine and understand the key processes that
underpin the ecosystem and identify the threats to these processes.
BUILT ENVIRONMENT

ENERGY AND CARBON
KPI 1 | Reduced Carbon Footprint
To minimise and support efficient use of energy demands and establish baselines of current energy consumption
and carbon emissions for their consideration and potential reduction in the future.
WATER
KPI 1 | Reduced Water Consumption
To minimise and support efficient use of water, and collect data towards establishing baselines of current water
consumption for their consideration and potential reduction in the future.
