Table 1
Criteria and thresholds for identifying priority sites of the Yangtze River floodplain for the conservation of wintering waterbirds"
Criteria | Source | Thresholds for identifying priority sites |
---|---|---|
Criterion 1 Sites in which a globally threatened species occurs in significant numbers | Criterion 2 for identifying Ramsar sites ( | Regular presence of a single individual for Critically Endangered (CR) and Endangered (EN) species; presence of 30 individuals for Vulnerable species (VU) according to IUCN Red List category |
Criterion 2 Sites that hold a significant proportion of the flyway population | Criterion 6 for identifying Ramsar sites ( | Population exceeds 1% of flyway population (hereafter Ramsar 1% criterion) |
Criterion 3 Sites that support a significant aggregation of individual waterbirds | Criterion 5 for identifying Ramsar sites ( | Supports 20,000 or more waterbirds |
