Threats to the site (pressure)
Threat Level 1	Threat Level 2	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	hunting & collecting terrestrial animals - intentional use (species being assessed is the target)	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	slow but significant deterioration	high
Natural system modifications	fire & fire suppression - increase in fire frequency/intensity	past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	low

Condition of key/trigger populations (state)
Scientific	Common	TargetPop	ActualPop	Units	Remaining	Result
Lyrurus tetrix	Black Grouse	50	15	breeding pairs	30	very unfavourable

Conservation actions taken at site (response)
Conservation Designation	Management Planning	Conservation Action	Result
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	A management plan exists but it is out of date or not comprehensive	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity	medium
