Species Protection Index

The Species Protection Index (SPI) measures how well a country's terrestrial protected areas overlap with the ranges of its vertebrate, invertebrate, and plant species. Map of Life calculates this index using remote sensing data, global biodiversity informatics, and integrative models to map suitable habitat for over 30,000 terrestrial species at high resolutions. A score of 100 indicates full coverage of all species' ranges by a country's protected areas, and a score of 0 indicates no overlap.
