C1 and H1 are based on all protected areas; C2 and H2 are based on the PA1 protected areas only.
A) Critically endangered (CR) = PNVs with a conservation risk index (CRI) > 10 and human influence (HI) > 50; Endangered (EN) = PNVs with a CRI > 4 and HI > 40; Vulnerable (VU) = PNVs with a CRI > 2 and HI > 20. B) As A, but with CRI threshold values of 25, 10 and 2, respectively. Potential natural vegetation (PNV) codes are provided in Table 1.
