Abstract

This biodiversity report is one of several technical reports describing the biophysical resources of the Nangu study area in Wadeye, the others addressing water availability and agricultural land suitability. Surveys were undertaken between September and November 2018 to assess the distribution and abundance of significant flora and vertebrate fauna species. Sensitive and significant vegetation communities were also identified and mapped. This information was used to identify important biodiversity values and assess the potential risks to biodiversity from agricultural development.,
