Threat level 1 | Threat level 2 | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
Agricultural expansion and intensification | livestock farming and ranching (includes forest grazing) - nomadic grazing | happening now | some of area/population (10-49%) | moderate to rapid deterioration | high |
Biological resource use | fishing & harvesting aquatic resources - intentional use: subsistence/sml scale | happening now | small area/few individuals (<10%) | moderate to rapid deterioration | low |
Biological resource use | gathering terrestrial plants - intentional use (species being assessed is the target) | happening now | some of area/population (10-49%) | slow but significant deterioration | medium |
Biological resource use | hunting & collecting terrestrial animals - intentional use (species being assessed is the target) | happening now | majority/most of area/population (50-90%) | moderate to rapid deterioration | high |
Energy production and mining | mining and quarrying | happening now | small area/few individuals (<10%) | moderate to rapid deterioration | low |
Human intrusions and disturbance | recreational activities | likely in short term (within 4 years) | small area/few individuals (<10%) | slow but significant deterioration | low |
