Relationship between biodiversity and poverty in Africa. This map may be used to show areas in which biodiversity is threatened in relation to poverty on a continental scale. Areas where high percentage of underweight children - used as a proxy for poverty - coincide with a high occurrence of amphibian species and endemic bird areas - a proxy for biodiversity - may indicate areas in which poor people likely have no other choice than the unsustainable extraction of resources, in turn threatening biodiversity .
Sources The map has been produced from a simple site selection using poverty data (CIESIN, 2004) on a first level administrative boundary level together with endemic bird areas (Stattersfield et al., 1998) and amphibian species (Conservation International, 2004) as a biodiversity proxy.
