Populations of IBA trigger species

Species	Current IUCN Red List Category	Season	Year(s) of estimate	Population estimate	IBA Criteria Triggered
Common Crane Grus grus	LC	passage	2000-2009	300-1,200 individuals	C6

Note: This table presents the IBA criteria triggered and the species that triggered then at the time of assessment, the current IUCN Red List category may vary from that which was in place at that time.

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) - small-holder grazing, ranching or farming	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Biological resource use	hunting & collecting terrestrial animals - intentional use (species being assessed is the target)	past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting	whole area/population (>90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	low
Human intrusions and disturbance	recreational activities	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	very high
