Table 6-3. Qualitative thresholds for Critical Habitats (IFC Performance Standard 6, 2012) Tier | Critical HabitatTier 2 Critical HabitatCriterion |: Occurrence of Critically endangered (CR) or Endangered (EN) speciesa. Habitat required to sustain ≥ 10 % of the global population of a CR or EN species/subspecies where there are known, regular occurrences of the species and where that habitat could be considered a Discrete Management Unit (DMU) for that species.c. Habitat that supports the regular occurrence of a single individual of a CR species and/or habitat containing regionally important concentrations of a Red-listed EN species where that habitat could be considered a discrete management unit for that species/subspecies.b. Habitat with known, regular occurrences of CR or EN species where that habitat is one of 1 0 or fewer discrete management sites globally for that speciesd. Habitat of significant importance to CR or EN species that are wide-ranging and/or whose population distribution is not well understood and where the loss of such a habitat could potentially impact the long-term survivability of the species.e. As appropriate, habitat containing nationally / regionally important concentrations of an EN, CR or equivalent national / regional listingCriterion 2: Occurrence of endemic and/or Restricted-Range speciesa. Habitat known to sustain ≥ 95% of the global population of an endemic or restricted-range species where that habitat could be considered a discrete management unit for that species (e.g. a single-site endemic).b. Habitat known to sustain ≥ 1% but <95% of a global population of an endemic or restricted-range species where that habitat could be considered a discrete management unit for that species, where data are available and / or based on expert judgment.Criterion 3: Occurrence of Migratory and/or Congregatory speciesa. Habitat known to sustain, on a cyclical or otherwise regular basis, ≥ 95% of a global population of a migratory or congregatory species at any point of the species’ lifecycle where that habitat could be considered a discrete management unit for that speciesb. Habitat known to sustain, on a cyclical or otherwise regular basis, ≥ 1% but <95% of the global population of a migratory or congregatory species at any point of the species’ lifecycle and where that habitat could be considered a discrete management unit for that species, where adequate data are available and / or based on expert judgment.c. For birds, habitat that meets Birdlife International’s Criterion A4 for congregations and / or Ramsar Criteria 5 or 6 for Identifying Wetlands of International Importance.d. For species with large but clumped distributions, a provisional threshold is set at ≥ 5% of the global population for both terrestrial and marine speciese. Source sites that contribute ≥ 1% of the global population of recruits.
