Last of the Wild Project, Version 1, 2002 (LWP-1): Top One Percent Wild Areas Dataset (Geographic)

The Top One Percent Wild Areas Dataset of the Last of the Wild Project, Version 1, 2002 (LWP-1) is derived from the LWP-1 Human Footprint Dataset. The gridded data are classified according to their raster value (wild = 0-1; not wild >1). The top 1% of the wild areas within each biome by realm are selected and identified. The dataset in Clarke 1866 Geographic Coordinate System is produced by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).
To provide a map of the wildest areas in geographic projection which can be used in wildlife conservation planning, natural resource management, and research on human-environment interactions.

2002年发布的《最后的荒野项目》第1版顶级1%荒野数据集（LWP-1）源自LWP-1人类足迹数据集。该网格化数据集依据栅格值进行分类：荒野区域对应0至1的取值，非荒野区域取值大于1。研究人员按照生物地理界划分的各生物群系，选取并标识出其中排名前1%的荒野区域。本数据集采用克拉克1866地理坐标系（Clarke 1866 Geographic Coordinate System），由国际野生生物保护学会（Wildlife Conservation Society, WCS）与哥伦比亚大学国际地球科学信息网络中心（Center for International Earth Science Information Network, CIESIN）联合制作。
本数据集旨在提供采用地理投影的顶级荒野区域地图，可应用于野生生物保护规划、自然资源管理以及人类与环境交互作用研究等领域。
