<strong>HCV</strong> 3 Ecosystems<br />
Global <strong>Toolkit</strong> definition: Forest area contains or is part of a threatened or endangered ecosystem.<br />
Any <strong>for</strong>est area that contains an ecosystem/habitat type identified as a priority <strong>for</strong> protection by the National<br />
Conservation Strategy (NCS), PERHILITAN Ecosystem Assessment report, Forestry Departments, FRIM,<br />
or SFC, and/or is confirmed as such by current expert opinion, is <strong>HCV</strong> 3. Some ecosystems are naturally<br />
rare, but some others are becoming increasingly threatened by pressure from human activities. Due to<br />
rapid changes, existing data may be outdated and some particularly threatened ecosystems may already<br />
need to be considered Priority 1. A good example of this would be lowland dipterocarp <strong>for</strong>ests, peat<br />
swamps and limestone habitats. Always refer to current expert opinion <strong>for</strong> confirmation.<br />
