Intact forest landscapes
Title from website. Source data scale 1:1,000,000. An Intact Forest Landscape (IFL) is a seamless mosaic of forest and naturally treeless ecosystems within the zone of current forest extent, which exhibit no remotely detected signs of human activity or habitat fragmentation and is large enough to maintain all native biological diversity, including viable populations of wide-ranging species. IFLs have high conservation value and are…

Challenger Expedition : HMS Challenger journey
The aim of Oceans 1876 project was to develop a database of baseline oceanographic information to enhance marine research and increase public awareness of the Challenger expedition. The Challenger was a naval vessel converted into a research ship and floating laboratory. Between 1872-76, the ship sailed 70,000 miles and recorded data at more than 360 research stations worldwide. The mission identified the world's major…

Reefs at risk revisited : social vulnerability data
This shapefile features the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) for 108 coral reef countries and territories classified according to an index of their reef dependence, adaptive capacity, and social vulnerability. Results are presented as quartiles, with 27 countries/territories classified in each of four categories (low, medium, high, and very high for Reef Dependence and Social Vulnerability; very low, low, medium, and high for Adaptive Capacity).…

Reefs at risk : global threats data
Global (i.e., climate-related) threats to the world's coral reefs were analyzed. These include: past thermal stress (i.e., warming seas and bleaching over the last decade), future thermal stress (ie., projections of future warming in 2030 and 2050); and ocean acidification (i.e., reduced ocean pH in the present, 2030, and 2050). Future thermal stress and ocean acidification were integrated with local threats into the Integrated…

Global map of threat of blast or poison fishing
This dataset was used as base data in Reefs at Risk. Map of blast and poison fishing (1 km grid) was developed for use in the Reefs at Risk Revisited project as a component of the model of overfishing and destructive fishing pressure on coral reefs. This layer designates threat of blast and poison fishing based on the frequency of the activity. Moderate (or…
