We relied on ancillary datasets describing the global distribution of mountains, wetlands, intertidal zones or mangroves as well as currently best available global datasets on human pressures.</p><p><u>See:</u><ul><li>Jung, M., Dahal, P.R., Butchart, S.H.M., Donald, P.F., De Lamo, X., Lesiv, M., Kapos, V., Rondinini, C., Visconti, P., (2020).
