PART E: MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

All occurrences of Asplenium listeri are considered to be important populations, and their environs are considered to be habitat critical to their survival.  Because the numbers are so low and the range so restricted, any impact on any population of the species may be significant.

A significant impact on a critically endangered or endangered species may arise from:
    * reducing the size of, or fragmenting, a population of the species
    * reducing the area occupied by the species
    * adversely affecting or decreasing availability or quality of habitat critical to survival of the species
    * introducing invasive species that compete with, modify habitat for, or prey on, the species.

Any proposed development or maintenance activity in the vicinity of a known occurrence of Asplenium listeri or in an area identified as potential habitat needs to be preceded by:
     * survey for the species; and
     * (wherever it is found) comprehensive documentation of the population
