Level of security

1 implementation / enforcement of regulations probable, and regulations scientifically sound or threat mild/occasional

2, 3, 4 intermediate between 1 and 5.

5 implementation/ enforcement of regulations unlikely or threat severe with high probability of genetic degradation or loss
