Threats to the site (pressure)
Threat Level 1	Threat Level 2	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Human intrusions and disturbance	work and other activities	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
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%)	slow but significant deterioration	high

Condition of habitat (state)
Habitat	Habitat Detail	Reference Area (ha)	Actual Area (ha)	% of habitat remaining	% of carrying capacity (overall)	Result
