Threats to the site (pressure)
Threat Level 1	Threat Level 2	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	hunting & collecting terrestrial animals - intentional use (species being assessed is the target)	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Biological resource use	logging & wood harvesting - unintentional effects: large scale	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Climate change and severe weather	drought	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
