The middle risk portfolio represents one level ofrisk to biodiversity. This map illustrates how thesize of the portfolio changes when the risk tobiodiversity is decreased or increased. Lowerrisk encompasses more area; higher riskencompasses less. The high risk portfolio isnested within the middle portfolio, and themiddle portiolio is nested within the lower riskportfolio.
