2008 not assessed very high not assessed
Whole site assessed? State assessed by Accuracy of information
yes unset good

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat Timing Scope Severity Result
Biological resource use happe­ning now whole of popul­ation/area (>90%) rapid decline (>30% over 3 gener­ations) very high
Agricultural expansion and intensification happe­ning now some of popul­ation/area (10–49%) slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations) medium
Climate change and severe weather likely in long term (>4 years) whole of popul­ation/area (>90%) slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations) medium
Invasive and other problematic species and genes past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting most of popul­ation/area (50–90%) no or slight decline (<1% over 3 gener­ations) low
