summary: This map shows the number of threatened amphibians, birds, mammals, reptiles, and plant species whose distributions overlap.
extent: [[-179.995201157628,-84.6917020203755],[179.905271047199,85.9177161230094]]
accessInformation: UNEP-WCMC (2020) Threatened species richness. Derived from Areas of Habitat maps created from data from the IUCN Red List, BirdLife International, the Global Assessment of Reptile Distributions (GARD), the Botanical Information and Ecology Network (BIEN) database and additional vascular plant species ranges were created from point data from the IUCN Red List, Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI), the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and iNaturalist.

description: <div><p>This layer shows the number of threatened amphibians, birds, mammals, reptiles and plant taxa whose distribution overlaps in each 10 km cell.

Species range maps were refined, when possible, by removing unsuitable areas using information on species’ habitat preferences and species' known altitudinal limits. This refinement process produced Areas of Habitat (AOH) maps for each species (Brooks et al. 2019).<p></p><p><u>Other References:</u></p><ul><li>Brooks, T. M. et al. (2019).
