Proposal for Ecological Assessment of a Forest Land in Beligoda

Forest reserve, Naula, Matale under the Mahaweli Water Security

Investment Program

Preamble

The Moragahakanda Agricultural Development Project (MADP) involves harvesting water

from Amban Gangs, one of the main tributaries of the Mahaweli Ganga which flows through

the knuckles mountain range, by constructing a very large reservoir. Furthermore, this project

resulted in the establishment of new settlements along the right and left banks and associated

infrastructure. As part of the investment, Kaluganga reservoir was also being built damming

Kalu Ganga to get excess water to Moragahakanda reservoir.

As part of Upper Elehera Canal Project under the Mahaweli Water Security Investment

Program (MWSIP), there is a construction of Kaluganga-Moragahakanda Transfer Canal

(KMTC). The contractor commissioned for the task - Sinohydro has cleared patch of forest

outside of the approved area during the construction of access road to the proposed outlet

portal of KMTC. Followed by immediate responsive actions, the MWSIP has requested (the

through the letter “MMDE/MWSIP/PMU/ENV/UECP /Gen-Vol 2” dated 5'h February 2019)

IUCN to undertake an assessment of ecological damage to assess the cost of damage related

to said unauthorized forest clearance and provide a restoration plan for the area.

After a preliminary site visit undertaken by IUCN, the following proposal is presented for

MWSIP’s consideration.

Objectives

• To assess the present biodiversity around the cleared area.

• To document the threats pertaining with above forest clearances to ecosystem.

• To identify the short and long term measures to ecologically improve the degraded

land.

• To calculate the cost of damage to the ecosystem.

• To prepare a restoration plan including above findings.

Project duration

Six weeks from signing the contract between MWSIP and IUCN, except the time taken by

MWSIP for review draft report.

Project activities

Literature survey to document the previous biodiversity related data around the site.

Five day field assessment will be conducted and during the field following sub-activates will

be carried out.

1. Conduct a rapid biodiversity assessment of the site in order to ascertain species

richness of flora and fauna, and identify endemic or threatened species found in the

area.

2. Identify the ecosystem services provided by the ecosystem.

l

3. Identify the threats pertaining due to forest clearance to sustainability of the ecosystem.

4. Identify the recommendations related to sustainable restoration of the cleared area.

5. Finally prepare a restoration plan including ecological value, cost of damage, and

restoration methodology.

Methodology

Review of any existing published information and maps on the study areas, and gathering of

baseline information.

Study Area

10m either side of the cleared road will be sampled to understand the biodiversity of the

cleared forest stretch (approximately 0.3ha). Four key separate areas to be covered by the

study are (see map 01); (i) Left bank of Kambarawa stream, where road was made clearing

vegetation, (ii) Right bank of Kambarawa stream, where some trees & shrubs were cleared

making a foot path, (iii) Causeway across part of Kambarawa stream by placing boulders and

(iv) Island after the causeway at the bifurcation of Kambarawa stream.

F lo ra su rvey m ethodo logy

Species/population (higher plants) parameters of diverse vegetation types in the given forest

areas will be studied using standard scientific techniques, with appropriate modifications to

suit field conditions. The surveys will concentrate on documenting the plant species in and

either side of the cleared stretch. The natural vegetation types will be surveyed under two

major categories - tree dominated vegetation types / degraded forests; and non-forest

vegetation types such as shrub lands, and grasslands, dominated by shrubs and herbaceous

I

life forms). Forest vegetation will be sampled using 2 x 50 m belt transect sampling technique

with appropriate dimensions as recommended in standard methods.

Fauna survey methodology

All groups of vertebrates (freshwater fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) and

selected invertebrate taxa (butterflies, dragonflies, land snails and aquatic snails) will be

identified, and documented. The same floral sampling belt transects will be used to sample

different groups of fauna in the project area (Table 1). Two to three night visits are also planned

along the cleared road using flashlights, depending on the ground situation in the area. All

efforts will be made to document the animals in a non-destructive manner.

Identification of taxa

The species of plants and animals will be identified and classified using the latest standard

published guides and keys available in Sri Lanka. In addition, the specimens deposited in the

National Herbarium and the National Museum will be referred to for species authentication.

Some of the key references that will be used to identify flora and fauna are given below in

Tables 2 and 3. Threat statuses of species will be obtained from the 2012 National Red List

of Sri Lanka.

Identification of Ecosystems

Fauna, flora and other physical characteristic will be used to identify the ecosystems of the

area. Wildlife Management Plan of NWPCP will be used as a key document for identify

ecosystem types while National Biodiversity Strategic Action Plan 2016-2022 will be used for

ecosystem nomenclature.

Ecological damage calculation

Given the limited time for assessment, value of ecological damage of the unauthorized forest

clearance will be assessed using benefit transfer methods where previously conducted

primary valuation studies elsewhere will be used to derive the value of the damage in the given

situation. This is the internationally accepted way of assessing value of environment when

the baseline information, resources or time becomes a constraint while a decision is needed

urgently. As given in the project team services of Environmental Economists including one

International expert is built in for this component.

Expected outputs

A restoration plan containing the following:

■ Biodiversity (ecosystem and species richness, endemicity, threatened status);

■ Details of the ecosystem services provided by the project area;

■ Threats identify due to forest clearance

■ Cost of damage to the ecosystem

■ Recommendations and mitigations to restoration,of cleared site

■ Restoration plan with budget;

This work is expected to deliver within 6 weeks from the date of signing the agreement

between MWSIP and IUCN. It is estimated 2 days for review the draft report by MWSIP any

additional time taken by MWSIP for review will be counted outside of the said 6 weeks as it is

beyond IUCN control,
