Here you will find an interactive map of sub-Saharan Africa’s remaining biodiversity intactness. The Biodiversity Intactness Index (BII) indicates the average remaining proportion of ‘intact’ populations of indigenous species in each ‘pixel’, given the dominant human land uses and activities. The map was produced by integrating ten spatial datasets to map the region’s land uses of varying intensity, which was then combined with bioregional lists of indigenous taxa and the bii4africa dataset.
