Bird Conservation Strategy for region 8 in Newfoundland and Labrador and marine units: identified threats
Relative magnitude of identified threats to priority species within BCR 8 NL, MBU 10 NL and MBU 12 NL by threat category and broad habitat class. The table is presented here in two parts.
Note: Overall ranks were generated through a roll-up procedure described in Kennedy et al. 2012. L represents Low magnitude threats; M = Medium; H = High; VH = Very High. Blank cells indicate that no priority species had threats identified in the threat category/habitat class combination.
