Common use of Predation Clause in Contracts

Predation. Excessive mortality due to predation. NEC population decline. Increase habitat quality or quantity to build resiliency of local populations to predation. Remove predator perches or dens. Open land to trapping. Reduce secondary food sources available to predators (e.g., dropped apples, proper disposal of dead livestock). No take of NEC is expected to result from this activity. Decrease predator densities. Increased NEC survival and numbers Occupancy of habitat by eastern cottontails (EC). Replacement or establishment of EC in a patch that would otherwise be suitable for NEC. Use of live traps to facilitate the removal of EC. Following this activity NEC may be transported to the site for release or allowed to colonize through natural dispersal processes. Prior to the initiation of EC removal, protocols that minimize take of NEC must be developed and implemented. Occupancy of additional habitats by NEC. In the future, new information may identify additional threats, necessitating modification of conservation measures specified in a cooperative agreement or implementation of additional conservation measures. In this event, changes will be made in accordance with sections 9 and 14 of this CCAA.
