Russian Tortoise is listed as Vulnerable and a large number were recorded during the spring. Lack of sightings during the summer survey are attributed to the species’ hibernation period which begins in late May. There are no global population estimates available for this species. However, sexual maturity is not reached until 10 years of age, with average lifespans of Dzhankeldy 500MW Wind Farm ESIA Volume 2- Main Text, Tables & Figures 215 20 to 30 years. It is considered therefore that losses to mature individuals in areas with viable populations could easily have significant impacts on the regional population. As per the EBRD PR6 GN6 the species satisfies Criterion ii for Priority Biodiversity Feature (PBF) as a Vulnerable IUCN Red List species and is classified as such. Desert Sand Boa is nationally threatened (listed on the Uzbekistan Red Data Book) although considered of least concern globally (on the IUCN Red List). One individual was recorded during surveying. CHA found that this species does not trigger criticality nor meet the conditions for classification as priority biodiversity feature. Southern Even-fingered Gecko is a Critically Endangered gecko. Nearly 50 individuals were located during summer survey efforts. Local experts estimate the sex ratio of the Southern Even-fingered gecko to be 2 males :1female. The species has a viable population. The following map indicates the extent of suitable habitat for the species (see subsequent figure). Although there are no global estimates for the species, the available literature and stakeholder engagement indicates that any viable population would be considered as more than 0.5% of the global population. Adding to the fact that the Uzbekistan population may be a genetically unique endemic species, the CHA has concluded that criticality is triggered for the Southern Even-fingered Gecko in the wind farm project site as well as specific segments of the OHTL corridor.
