[Pernille Pennebaker]

theproduction design of this movie is genuinely incredible. still, i can't help but feel like dino de laurentiis saw The Wizard of Oz and spent the next three decades complaining that dorothy didn't fuck the tin man

Oh, the kitsch! Barbarella is a dream-movie for me - the kind you imagine in your slumber and in your greatest fantasies but never expect to be made, much less come to fruition with such knowing heart, astonishment, and grace. Its regressive/progressive subtext indicates a fascinating tension between the vitality and agency of the female body and the society in which it was produced, depicting Barbarella as a free spirit - kind, gentle, sexy, capable - still constrained and owned by the state. It's a distressing time-capsule all wrapped up in one of the cheapest, most wacko space environments ever committed to film; an odyssey constructed out of tactile fads and psychedelic phenomena. Love and energy burst through every frame from the excitement of simply being - no film has been happier to be itself.

i knew going in that duran duran have a banger called "electric barbarella" but i did NOT know that their band name is a reference to the bad scientist man in this movie, durand durand (half of the d's are not pronounced very clearly by anyone), and then when i read their wikipedia page i also learned that the two founders of the band worked at a nightclub called barbarella's. all this lore for WHY

The Small Dragon Orchid is endemic to Western Australia. It is known from 14 populations east and north-east of Kalbarri in the Geraldton Sandplains Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia bioregion and the Northern Agricultural and Rangelands Natural Resource Management Region (WA DEC 2008; Western Australian Herbarium 2006).

The extent of occurrence of the Small Dragon Orchid is estimated to be between 1300 km and 2000 km (WA DEC 2008). The exact extent of occurrence and area of occupancy of the species is currently unknown (WA DEC 2008).

Recent examination of aerial photographs indicates there may be additional areas of suitable habitat that may support this species. However, due to the remoteness of these areas, they have not yet been surveyed (WA DEC 2008).

Two populations of the Small Dragon Orchid occur on active pastoral stations and one small population occurs across both Kalbarri National Park and unallocated crown land (WA DEC 2008). Two populations occur within conservation estate (Kalbarri National Park and Cooloomia Nature Reserve) managed by the Western Australian Government, and nine populations, including the three largest populations, which contain 73% of the total number of individual plants, occur on a pastoral lease which is managed for conservation by Bush Heritage Australia (WA DEC 2008). Therefore, the majority of individual plants occur on land managed for conservation.

Based on surveys undertaken between 1983 and 2008, the total population size of the Small Dragon Orchid is estimated to be approximately 490 mature plants (WA DEC 2008).

The populations of Small Dragon Orchid have not been surveyed over a sufficient period of time to establish whether the species as a whole is declining, or whether the species is likely to continue to decline in the future (TSSC 2009bh).

The six populations of the Small Dragon Orchid that have been surveyed over a period of more than 10 years, have demonstrated a general decline in the number of individual plants. Two populations have shown a marked increase in population size, although these populations have been surveyed over a period of less than 10 years. The remaining six populations have only been surveyed once and therefore trends in these populations cannot be assessed (WA DEC 2008).

The Small Dragon Orchid grows singularly or in small, dense clumps consisting of two or three plants, in lateritic sandy clay loam or clay soil. The species generally occurs along seasonal creek lines and swamps, or more rarely on rocky ledges. The Small Dragon Orchid typically inhabits areas of dense heath or tall scrub of Melaleuca uncinata or Acacia spp., and grows alongside Brachysema aphylla and Hakea preissii (WA DEC 2008).

Threats affecting the Small Dragon Orchid include grazing, habitat degradation, weed infestations, population fragmentation, fire and climate change.

Grazing

Grazing by rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is a threat to the Small Dragon Orchid. Grazing by feral goats (Capra hircus) is considered to be a potential threat to the populations occurring on Eurardy Station (WA DEC 2008). However, efforts are being made to bait and shoot rabbits and to fence off known populations to limit grazing by feral goats and rabbits at this site (WA CALM 2006c). As this threat is being actively managed, it is not clear whether it is still having a substantial impact on the species as some populations are increasing in numbers and some are decreasing in numbers (WA DEC 2008).

Habitat degradation

The population within Kalbarri National Park shows evidence of damage caused by vehicles and camping activity (WA CALM 2006c).

Weeds

Weed infestation poses a threat to the population within Kalbarri National Park (WA DEC 2008).

Fragmentation

The species is fragmented due to its specific habitat requirements and each isolated population is vulnerable to stochastic events such as wildfire (WA CALM 2006c).

Fire

Frequent fire events during the species' active growing period have the potential to kill plants and reduce the size of populations. However, fire is considered to be an uncommon event in the area in which the species occurs and is not considered to be a major threat (WA CALM 2006c).

Climate change

Climate change is also a potential threat to the Small Dragon Orchid. Climate change and associated processes are expected to affect biodiversity in Western Australian in the next several decades (WA CALM 2004b). As the Small Dragon Orchid occurs in small fragmented populations and has specific habitat requirements, changes in climatic conditions that alter particular parameters of the habitat may threaten the species. However, the specific effects climate change may have on this species and the degree of severity, are unknown (WA CALM 2006c).

Minister's Reasons for Recovery Plan decision:

The approved conservation advice for the species provides sufficient direction to implement priority actions and mitigate against key threats. Therefore, a recovery plan is not considered to be necessary at this time.

The Commonwealth Conservation Advice on Caladenia barbarella (Small Dragon Orchid) (TSSC 2009bi) outlines the following research priorities:

Design and implement a monitoring program, or if appropriate, support and enhance existing programs.

More precisely assess population size, distribution, ecological requirements and the relative impacts of threatening processes.

Undertake survey work in suitable habitat and potential habitat during the flowering period (late August to September) to locate any additional populations/occurrences/remnants and more precisely assess population size.

Undertake seed germination and/or vegetative propagation trials to determine the requirements for successful establishment, including mycorrhizal association trials.

Undertake further research into the species' pollination system.

In addition, the Commonwealth Conservation Advice on Caladenia barbarella (Small Dragon Orchid) (TSSC 2009bi) outlines the following priority actions:

Regularly monitor known populations to identify key threats.

Monitor the progress of recovery, including the effectiveness of management actions and the need to adapt them if necessary.

Manage any changes to hydrology that may result in changes to water table levels and/or increased run-off, salinity, sedimentation or pollution.

Manage any disruptions to water flows.

Suitably control and manage access on private land and other land tenure.

Control access routes to suitably constrain public access to known sites on public land.

Ensure development or other activities involving substrate or vegetation disturbance in areas where the Small Dragon Orchid occurs do not adversely impact on known populations.

Minimise adverse impacts from land use at known sites.

Investigate formal conservation arrangements, management agreements and covenants on private land, and for crown and private land investigate inclusion in reserve tenure if possible.

Implement the Threat Abatement Plans for the control and eradication of feral goats and rabbits.

Monitor known sites to ensure appropriate grazing regimes occur.

Where appropriate, manage total grazing pressure at important/significant sites through exclusion fencing or other barriers.

Identify and remove weeds in the local area, which could become a threat to the Small Dragon Orchid, using appropriate methods.

Manage sites to prevent introduction of invasive weeds, which could become a threat to the Small Dragon Orchid, using appropriate methods.

Ensure chemicals or other mechanisms used to eradicate weeds do not have a significant adverse impact on the Small Dragon Orchid.

Develop and implement a suitable fire management strategy for the Small Dragon Orchid.

Where appropriate, provide maps of known occurrences to local and state Rural Fire Services and seek inclusion of mitigative measures in bush fire risk management plans, risk register and/or operation maps.

Raise awareness of the Small Dragon Orchid within the local community, through fact sheets, the organisation of field days and through liaison with community interest groups such as the Wildflower Society.

Maintain liaison with private landholders and land managers of land on which populations occur.

Undertake appropriate seed and mycorrhizal fungi collection and storage.

Investigate options for linking, enhancing or establishing additional populations.

Implement national translocation protocols (Vallee et al. 2004) if establishing additional populations is considered necessary and feasible.
