Global Mammal Species Richness

Maps have been developed by Clinton Jenkins of the Instituto de Pesquisas Ecológicas (IPÊ). Advice and suggestions came from many colleagues, including Joe Sexton (GLCF), Rob Dunn (NCSU), Stuart Pimm (Duke University), Kyle Van Houtan (NOAA), Lucas Joppa (Microsoft Research), Félix Pharand-Deschenes (Globaïa), and Nick Haddad (NCSU). Producing the biodiversity maps would not have been possible without the enormous efforts contributed to the IUCN, NatureServe, BirdLife International, and the USGS in their ongoing efforts to map the individual distributions of the world’s species. for more info Visit BiodiversityMapping.org The brighter magenta color on the map represent the areas of highest mammal biodiversity.
