Table 5. Threat magnitude rating.

Threat magnitude Overexploitation Overgrazing Fire Cotton production Mining Climate change
Very high 0.71–1 0.71–1 0.71–1 NA Presence of mining site (incl. surrounding areas) One or both scenarios (RCP 4.5 a/o 8.5) predict absence
High 0.31–0.7 0.31–0.7 0.31–0.7 0.31–0.7 Both scenarios (RCP 4.5 and 8.5) predict presence in novel regional climate conditions
Medium 0.11–0.3 0.11–0.3 0.11–0.3 0.11–0.3 Only scenario RCP 4.5 predicts presence in novel regional climate conditions
Low 0.01–0.1 0.01–0.1 0.01–0.1 0.01–0.1 Only scenario RCP 4.5 predicts presence
No threat ≤ 0.01 ≤ 0.01 ≤ 0.01 ≤ 0.01 Absence of mining site Both scenarios (RCP 4.5 and 8.5) predict presence
