ENVIRONMENT & SUSTAINABILITY
Managing key ecological values is vital to preserving populations of flora and fauna species.Aratu Forests Limited (AFL) are committed to protecting remnant native areas and Rare, Threatened and Endangered Species (RTES) through specialised monitoring practices and environmental management.
Through this commitment we have identified several threatened species of flora and fauna like the Kākābeak, Pekapeka and Kārearea within our estate. We have put processes in place to manage their native environment, so they can thrive in the wild.
NATIVE REMNANTS
There are a number of Protected Management Area’s (PMA), riparian zones and other native forest areas within the AFL estate that contain a range of native flora and fauna species. These areas are widely recognised as important for the movement of indigenous fauna between native vegetation remnants. This movement may be necessary for the utilisation of food, habitat, or breeding purposes.
Rare, Threatened and Endangered Species
All staff and contractors are provided with information on the Rare, Threatened and Endangered Species (RTES) they are most likely to encounter within the estate when carrying out their daily operations. On an annual basis they are refreshed of the contents and the importance of protecting RTES. The most common RTES found in the estate are Karearea (NZ Falcon).As part of this, staff and contractors are encouraged to report all sightings of the actual and potential RTES they see while working within the estate. As such, information includes reporting process and forms.
