Human Factor Rating • Scope (Area). Geographic area of impact on the target (where the target naturally occurs) that can reasonably be expected within 10 years under current circumstances – Occurs everywhere -> very limited within the project area • Severity. The level of damage to the conservation target that can reasonably be expected within ten years under current circumstances – Will likely eliminate the conservations target -> limited impairment • Irreversibility. Degree to which the effects of a threat can be undone – Not functionally reversible -> easy to reverse
