Table 3. Five-point rating scale to define the potential threat magnitude.
Threat magnitude | Definition |
---|---|
Very high | The threat is likely to destroy or eliminate the species, or reduce its population by 71–100% |
High | The threat is likely to seriously degrade/reduce the species or reduce its population by 31–70% |
Medium | The threat is likely to moderately degrade/reduce the species or reduce its population by 11–30% |
Low | The threat is likely to only slightly degrade/reduce the species or reduce its population by 1–10% |
No threat | The threat is likely to not degrade/reduce the species or reduce its population by less than 1% |
