Biodiversity Facets
Global assessments of bird and mammal diversity along three facets: species diversity, phylogenetic diversity, and functional diversity layers. Layers from Pollock et al. (2017).

Global phylo diversity priority [Marxan] indicates the most essential areas to represent global mammal phylogenetic diversity with:
targets for conservation of each unit of diversity based on its geographic range
total conservation area limited to 10% of world land
Global phylo diversity priority [Marxan] indicates the most essential areas to represent global mammal species diversity with:
targets for conservation of each species based on its geographic range
total conservation area limited to 10% of world land
