This report contains updates from study conducted from June 28 to July 9, 2013 including amphibians, reptiles, birds, plants, terrestrial and aquatic macro invertebrates. External parasites of birds were incorporated in the survey as an independent component for the first time. As mentioned above, this report does not include an account of the mammals. However, LNC has abundant populations mammals including elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo. The report is presented on each of the component surveyed as follows:- Chapter 1 – Reptiles and Amphibians; Chapter 2 – Birds; Chapter 3 – Ectoparasites of Birds; Chapter 4 – Invertebrates and; Chapter 5 – Plants. Detailed findings are outlined in the respective chapters. OAN-LNC stands out among other conservation areas in the greater Laikipia region for two main reasons. First, it remains the largest privately protected area in the area covering 400 km 2 encompassing the most diverse habitat types from grasslands, high forest to riverine vegetation. Secondly, it is the only conservancy in Laikipia without livestock dedicated to nature conservation following the complete eradication of cattle ranching in 1998. A dramatic improvement in biodiversity richness has been witnessed since then, with significant increase in vegetation cover. Located on the eastern wall of the Rift Valley, the Conservancy is the most important water catchment area for Lake Baringo among other ecological benefits for the riparian community. Besides the presence of a variety of large game, very high species diversity of relatively inconspicuous but equally important biota has been documented in Laikipia Nature Conservancy comprising of 14 amphibians (i.e. frogs and toads), 55 reptiles, 477 birds, more than 800 vascular plants, and 755 macro-invertebrates. Four taxa of ecto-paratsites (louse fly, lice, mites & ticks) have been recorded from birds. This significant species richness, in an area surrounded by a highly degraded landscape, is perhaps directly correlated with the radical shift in management i.e. the removal of cattle and total dedication to nature conservation as a long term management strategy, which may have resulted in recovery of species populations over time. To achieve this noble goal, the survival of these species, some of which are globally threatened with extinction, must be ensured through sustained management and supportive legislative framework. It is also worth noting that recent research from Ol Ari Nyiro has led to the discovery of species new to science; e.g. the newly described butterfly, Aslauga gallmannae Libert & Collins 2013 presently only known from the Engelesha forest. The species inventory was discovered to be far from exhaustive as more new records were still being detected. It is important to note that the total list of species has been steadily increasing with each assessment conducted over the recent years. In the most recent assessment, a total of 59 new species were recorded in the conservancy. These included 1 snake, 7 birds, 43 invertebrates , 2 fish, and 6 plants. Our findings underscore the state of this conservancy as a highly pristine ecosystem and its enormous potential to contribute to sustainable development and the ripple effect of improvement of livelihood in the area. The presence of some highly sensitive aquatic macroinvertebrates like the Stone fly Neorperla kunensis, Water penny beetle Psephenus sp., and mayfly Afronurus harrison as well as various amphibians implied that the water quality was of the highest integrity score. With nearly 45% of Kenya’s bird species documented here, LNC is undoubtedly an important tourist destination as a bird watcher’s paradise. Moreover, lying along the Rift Valley; one of the prominent bird migration routes, LNC offers a critical passage and wintering habitat for a number of Palearctic migrants. On the other hand, the plant diversity in the area is potentially a huge reservoir for traditional health remedies. Nevertheless, the results presented here only represent a small fraction of the entire area covered by the Conservancy, and large portions still remain to be studied in the future. It is envisaged that more species will certainly be detected in future surveys. LNC’s inventory is the only such comprehensive, detailed and diverse inventory in the entire Laikipia wildlife dispersal area and Kenya at large. It serves as a classic example of the best approach since its only by understanding ecosystem dynamics, including species present, that we can employ effective and sustainable practices that benefit wildlife and humanity.
