Description:

Abstract:

The infrastructure layer contains threats that are not included in other layers. This means roads, railways, waterways, and oil and gas drill sites are not included. The infrastructure threat layer uses the following two datasets: Airports, Distance 5km, Curve Type 3 and Dams, Distance 1km, Curve Type 3.

The threats model was applied, and the adjusted threat layers for each of the two threats were then averaged to produce the final threat layer of infrastructure.

Purpose:

To represent geographically severity and scope of the threat upon the conservation of biodiversity in South America

Supplemental_Information:

The SACR science team has been tasked to develop a continental threat assessment to complement the continental priorities assessment that was completed last year. Threat datasets will be used by SACR to refine ecoregional priorities so that they are based on actual threats, inform threat abatement and conservation strategies of the SACR Conservation Programs, and form the basis of an early warning system for major threats to biodiversity that may occur and for which we would need to prepare abatement strategies. Assessing and monitoring threats to the biodiversity in South America is a task composed of different components that can be summarized as follows: Design and create an information system capable of spatially representing the geographic distribution of threats. Model the severity and scope of these threats to provide information about how biodiversity targets (ecosystems) are altered, deteriorated or lost. Create an early warning (biodiversity risk) information system that is capable of providing updated information on predicted tendencies for threats (i.e.; past and current threat data will be used in conjunction with threat forecasting models).
