Threats to the site (pressure)
Threat Level 1	Threat Level 2	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	annual & perennial non-timber crops - agro-industry farming	past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low
Biological resource use	hunting & collecting terrestrial animals - intentional use (species being assessed is the target)	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	medium
Climate change and severe weather	habitat shifting and alteration	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Human intrusions and disturbance	work and other activities	past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting	whole area/population (>90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	low
Natural system modifications	dams & water management/use - abstraction of surface water (agricultural use)	past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low

Conservation actions taken at site (response)
Conservation Designation	Management Planning	Conservation Action	Result
Little/none of site covered (<10%)	No management plan exists but the management planning process has begun	Very little or no conservation action taking place	negligible
