Flora and vegetative matter might be gathered for consumption or for fuel; eggs taken from breeding bird nests; poaching of hare, ground birds or tortoise for consumption or for domestic trade; and persecution of raptors, snakes, and carnivores could potentially take place. The magnitude and unmitigated significance calculations are presented in the table below.

However, the surrounding areas on a landscape level support similar habitat types and are not constrained by large-scale urban or industrial developments. Therefore, it is not anticipated that displaced individuals will have a significant impact on adjacent ecosystems. Figure 7-18 Adjacent Habitat Available for Dispersed Species P ROLIFERATION OF G ENERALIST S PECIES The dispersal of shyer species away from disturbed areas can lead to an increase in generalist species such as Red Fox which are well adapted to anthropogenic habitats. Further, poor management of solid waste can result in the proliferation of pest species, such as feral dog, cat, rats, and other urban-adapted species. This can cause further competition and displacement of native fauna. The magnitude and unmitigated significance calculations are presented in the table below.
