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	whole area/population (>90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Biological resource use	gathering terrestrial plants - unintentional effects (species being assessed is not the target)	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Climate change and severe weather	drought	likely in short term (within 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Energy production and mining	mining and quarrying	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Human intrusions and disturbance	recreational activities	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Natural system modifications	fire & fire suppression - increase in fire frequency/intensity	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Pollution	agricultural & forestry effluents - type unknown/unrecorded	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Residential and commercial development	tourism and recreation areas	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Conservation actions taken at site (response)
Conservation Designation	Management Planning	Conservation Action	Result
