Figure 1: Maps showing the current state and recent change in the global human footprint.

From: Sixteen years of change in the global terrestrial human footprint and implications for biodiversity conservation

Figure 1

(a) The global human footprint map for 2009 using a 0–50 cool to hot colour scale, and (b) absolute change in average human footprint from 1993 to 2009 at the ecoregion scale74. Data on human footprint change are summarized by ecoregions to allow for interpretation of broad patterns. Inset panels in b show focal regions that span the full breadth of the human footprint pressure scale.
