Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2024	good	high	low
Whole site assessed?	State assessed by	Accuracy of information
no	habitat	poor

Forest	good (>90%)	good (>90%)	good

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Natural system modifications	happening now	some of population/area (10–49%)	rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations)	high
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	some of population/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations)	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
