Table 2. Percent surface attacked by the coffee berry borer for each of the main coffee varieties and surface left after attack under an 8% or 24% attack rate by the berry borer and potential forest surface that might need to be changed to coffee cultivation in order to meet future demand.

For areas where forests might have to be changed to coffee we show values of average numbers of threatened species of vertebrates and conservation templates found within each grid cells, values show average and standard deviation for 100 simulations of coffee expansion.
