Objective

Identify species that are very likely to decline or are already declining.

Description

Anticipating forest and species decline due to changes in climate, disturbance regimes, or other factors may help to develop early and appropriate management responses to maintain forest cover and ecosystem functions.

Expected results

Promotion of species to fill a similar niche.

Result indicators

Number of declining species.

Involved actors
