I can try to answer that question.

The three areas where the order is being considered are areas where the level of disturbance is greater than the minimum required for the survival of the population, and the disturbance rates are going up, so the trend in terms of the ability for these species to recover is a declining trend, and it is based on the disturbance levels within those areas.
