Supplementary Data S1: Species-level maps of distribution of population-level changes in abundance for 461 waterbird species

This dataset consists of 461 openly-accessible .pdf files, displaying a global distribution map in each file. This is a supplementary dataset of the related publication 'Successful conservation of global waterbird populations depends on effective governance' linked from this data record.
Each map represents population change estimates at geographical locations for a single species within the stated ranges. The estimates are based on a hierarchical Bayesian model of species’ abundance between 1990 and 2013.
Supplementary Data S1 Species-level
maps of distribution of population-level changes in abundance for 461 waterbird
species analysed in this study. In these maps, dots represent 1º ×1º grid cells
with change estimates. In each species, population-level declines that are
categorised as Critically Endangered based on the International Union for
Conservation of Nature (IUCN)’s Red List criterion A2 (≥ 80% past decline over
three generations) are shown in red, those categorised as Endangered (≥ 50%
past decline over three generations) in dark orange, those categorised as
Vulnerable (≥ 30% past decline over three generations) in pale orange, and
other (less severe) declines in yellow. Population-level increases are also
categorised using the same ranges as the categories for declines. Changes with
95% credible intervals overlapping with zero are shown with small white dots. Species’
non-breeding geographical ranges based on the bird species distribution maps of
the world are shaded.
