Severity of Damage - What level of damage over at least some portion of the target occurrence
can reasonably be expected within 10 years under current circumstances (given the continuation of
the existing management/conservation situation) |
Very High |
The stress is likely to destroy or eliminate the conservation
target over some portion of the target's occurrence at the site |
High |
The stress is likely to seriously degrade the conservation
target over some portion of the target's occurrence at the site |
Medium |
The stress is likely to moderately degrade the conservation
target over some portion of the target's occurrence at the site |
Low |
The stress is likely to only slightly impair the conservation
target over some portion of the target's occurrence at the site |
|
Scope of Damage - What is the geographic scope of impact on
the conservation target at the site that can reasonably be expected within 10 years under current
circumstances (given the continuation of the existing management/conservation situation) |
Very High |
The stress is likely to be very widespread or pervasive in its
scope, and affect the conservation target throughout the target's occurrences at the site |
High |
The stress is likely to widespread in its scope, and affect the
conservation target at many of its locations at the site |
Medium |
The stress is likely to be localized in its scope, and affect
the conservation target at some of the target's locations at the site |
Low |
The stress is likely to very localized in its scope, and affect
the conservation target at a limited portion of the target's location at the site |
