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%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Biological resource use	logging & wood harvesting - unintentional effects: subsistence/small scale	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Pollution	air-borne pollutants - type unknown/unrecorded	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	whole area/population (>90%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Pollution	excess energy - noise pollution	past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	low
Pollution	garbage & solid waste	likely in short term (within 4 years)	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low

Conservation actions taken at site (response)
Conservation Designation	Management Planning	Conservation Action	Result
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	A comprehensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	medium
