The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2004).

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat level 1	Threat level 2	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	annual & perennial non-timber crops - small-holder farming	likely in short term (within 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	high
Agricultural expansion and intensification	livestock farming and ranching (includes forest grazing) - small-holder grazing, ranching or farming	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Biological resource use	fishing & harvesting aquatic resources - unintentional effects: subsistence/small scale	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Biological resource use	hunting & collecting terrestrial animals - intentional use (species being assessed is the target)	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low
Biological resource use	hunting & collecting terrestrial animals - persecution/control	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low
