Where should we be taking steps to protect biodiversity to slow down plant and animal extinction?
This map shows the concentration of imperiled biodiversity of plants and animals in the lower 48 states. More than 2,200 species and their habitat needs were studied by NatureServe, the source of this map. Areas with high concentration have more species at high risk of global extinction. Superimposed on this map are the areas that are permanently protected for biodiversity by federal, state and local entities.
