Habitat Quality

• TNC Kau Understory Monitoring Results 2007
• Conclusion
• The presence of non-native vegetation is having
  far less impact on the health of the Kau forest
  than ground disturbance by ungulates and that the
  high level of ground disturbance is the driving
  factor bringing the rank down from Very Good to
  Fair.
