Human Impacts on Scheyville National Park

Cards (6)

  • Land Clearing and Habiat Loss

    Loss of vegetation could limit suitable areas for GGBF to establish population
  • Introduced Species
    These non-native plants may alter the habitat structure and potentially impact the GGBF's ability to thrive.
  • Agricultural History
    Past agricultural activities may have altered soil composition and water quality, potentially affecting the GGBF's habitat requirements.
  • Urbanization
    The park is surrounded by residential properties and roads, which could lead to increased pollution, runoff, and habitat fragmentation. These factors may negatively impact the GGBF's ability to establish and maintain populations.
  • Water Pollution
    The environmental impact statement for a nearby development mentions concerns about water pollution affecting Marramarra National Park. Similar issues could affect Scheyville National Park and its water bodies, potentially harming the GGBF's aquatic habitat.
  • Military Use
    The park's history of military use, including as a training camp during World War I and II, may have left lasting impacts on the landscape that could affect habitat suitability for the GGBF
