Global habitat loss and extinction risk of terrestrial vertebrates under future land- use change scenarios

Explore potential range losses projected under different a range of plausible futures (shared socioeconomic pathways). For this work, we linked global decadal land-use projections to year 2070 for a range of shared socio-economic pathways (SSPs) to evaluate potential losses in range-wide suitable habitat and extinction risks for ~ 19,400 species of amphibians, birds and mammals.

Biodiversity impacts of urban land expansion projected to 2050

Urban land conversions are expected to be an increasingly prominent driver of habitat and biodiversity loss over the next 30 years. Here we provide tools to visualize forecasted habitat loss caused by urban land expansion to 2050. These tools highlight the urgent need for an increased focus on urban land in global conservation strategies and identify high-priority areas for this engagement.
