Direct causes of threats include the following categories:

1 = Unmanaged use and harvesting;

2 = Unmanaged grazing and browsing (domestic animals, wildlife);

3 = Wildfires, environmental biotic/abiotic factors (drought, pests, diseases, floods, pollution);

4 = Clearing for agriculture or pasture;

5 = Infrastructure development (dams, mining, urban expansion);

6 = Other, e.g. lack of knowledge/ignorance; fuelwood collection

Threat Index (1-5):

1 = Implementation/enforcement of regulations probable and regulations scientifically sound. Low level of threat.

5 = Implementation/enforcement of regulations unlikely; or threat severe with high probability of genetic degradation or loss. High level of threat.

2-4 = Intermediate between 1 and 5.
