Justification | EOO 160 km², AOO<160 km², fewer than 15 locations are known, around half of which are above 200 m and are protected within reserves. Coastal locations are declining due to coastal development and alien plant invasions. Coastal development has already lead to over 30% habitat loss, 25% of which occurred in the past 20 years (generation length suspected to be 10 years). |
