Threats to the site (pressure)
Threat Level 1	Threat Level 2	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	livestock farming and ranching (includes forest grazing) - nomadic grazing	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium

Energy production and mining	mining and quarrying	likely in short term (within 4 years)	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Natural system modifications	dams & water management/use - small dams	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
