Balancing palm harvest versus the incidental killing of parrots Now let's first evaluate whether harvesting palms at their optimal level can be tolerated by the parrot population, which is incidentally affected when palms felled inadvertently enclose nest parrots. If the palm populations can be harvested in a sustainable manner at the same rate a which they can potentially grow, then what was the estimated maximum sustainable annual harvest rate for the palms? What was it for the parrots? Based on data originally given in the scenario, recall that the area is 10,000 km², that 10 km² hosts 1 parrot (of any age) and 1,000 palms, that felling every thousandth palm kills a nesting pair of parrots, and that carrying you need to address the question at hand: capacities for each species are twice their current densities. You now have all the information 12. If the palm population is harvested at its maximum sustainable limit, will the parrot any calculations used. population be at risk? Please explain how you arrived at your conclusion and show population, and why? 13. What annual harvest of palms would you recommend to maintain a healthy parrot above. Explain. 14. Describe an alternative scenario that would change your answer for question 12
