Observation on data availability/gaps

Data are available in pdf article where the researchers have identified nine categories of intactness for the world’s terrestrial ecoregions based on changes over a 16-year period. Highly impacted and degraded categories are predominant (74%) and just 6% of ecoregions are on improving trajectories
