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) - nomadic grazing	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Biological resource use	gathering terrestrial plants - unintentional effects (species being assessed is not the target)	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Climate change and severe weather	temperature extremes	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Energy production and mining	renewable energy	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Human intrusions and disturbance	war, civil unrest and military exercises	likely in short term (within 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	invasive non-native/alien species/diseases - named species	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Natural system modifications	fire & fire suppression - increase in fire frequency/intensity	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	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	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Transportation and service corridors	roads and railroads	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium

Conservation actions taken at site (response)
Conservation Designation	Management Planning	Conservation Action	Result
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	No management plan exists but the management planning process has begun	The conservation measures needed for the site are being comprehensively and effectively implemented	medium
