3 reasons why the fantastic blue pipits are disappearing and how to rescue them?

The storyboard goes as follows..................

The three top patterns that can cause impact to birdlife can be:

• The contrasting patters of traffic and speed across the observation period illustrate that when the roads are clogged in the holiday season, the traffic is affecting birdlife directly. When the traffic eases, the speeds by all vehicle types begin to increase, which causes the natural rhythm of the bird habitat to be disturbed. The two-fold effect of traffic, whether it is high or low, is thereby suspected to have an impact.




• From the map, it can be inferred that the middle corridor is being used the most by vehicles and that the diametrically opposite camps- camping 8 and camping 5 are being thronged by people almost all throughout the 13-month period. What this means is that even if the birds decide to migrate within the preserve, they might not be spared as there is constant footfall on either side of the preserve.



• The persistent traffic in gates, with their fair share of heavy equipment which might presumably be used for road construction works and inconsistent patters such as ranger vehicles being found at night, 4 axle trucks moving through gates present patters that are not consistent. There is a case that the security by the patrolling is weak, where they allow 4 axle trucks to go into the gates. This is because according to the park rules, no other vehicle is allowed access. In addition, repeat visitors who are familiar with the camp such as the vehicle ID 20154519024544-322 might now begin to trespass to new areas, since they become familiar with the terrain every time they enter and hop across camps, etc. A stricter watch on these kind of anomalous behaviors should hopefully save the rose crested Blue Pipits and allow people coming to the preserve to enjoy nature’s pristine beauty!
