Announcing the launch of KRAG's 'Adders in Decline' project!
Several factors are believed to be responsible for apparent declines in this species. These include: habitat loss, fragmentation of remaining populations, unsympathetic management, direct persecution and public pressure. In order to address these concerns, KRAG are launching a new initiative ĉAdders in DeclineĈ. This project will aim to promote the pro-active conservation of adder. Project aims include: 1) Record the distribution of adder in Kent - identify key sites and important habitat componants within each site (e.g. hibernacula). 2) Monitor important populations - determine relative population sizes in different habitats. 3) Recommend Strategies for further survey work - undertake experimental tests of survey methodolgy. 4) Raise awareness and publicise conservation concerns - including running reptile survey training events, publishing habitat management leaflets etc. 5) Promote adoption of species action plan for adder in Kent. For more details of this exciting initiative, including a map illustrating target areas please download this leaflet (pdf). |
