Species richness: mammals, amphibians and birds

Olson et. al. BioScience November 2001 / Vol. 51 No. 11 Terrestrial ecoregions within 14 biomes and 8 biogeographic regions

WWF Global 200 Olson et. al. BioScience November 2001 / Vol. 51 No. 11 Mammal species endemism

WWF Global 200 WWF identified ecoregions with exceptional levels of species richness and high levels of endemism

High endemism and high threat (>86% original cover is lost) 34 Hotspots representing 2.3% of earth’s land 50% of all plants and 42% of vertebrate species live in these Hotspots 75% of the most endangered species in the world (mammals, birds, and amphibians) Mittermeier et al. (2004) Hotspots Revisited. CEMEX CI Biodiversity Hotspots

CI High-Biodiversity Wilderness Areas High endemism (>1,500 species and plants are endemic) Low threat (<30% original cover lost) 5 HBWAs, covering 6.1% of earth’s surface 17% of plants, 8% of terrestrial mammals only found here Mittermeier et al. (2004) Hotspots Revisited. CEMEX
