World Vitals / Biodiversity and land pressure
Track habitat availability, land-use pressure, and biodiversity-risk indicators.
Habitat pages should separate observed biodiversity measures, modelled habitat projections, and conservation status.
The primary charts now come from normalized database observations. Snapshot cards remain useful for latest values, but time series and paired relationships get chart types that match the question.
Database charts
These charts use normalized observations from the World Vitals database. Time-series charts show change; scatter plots show paired relationships where the data actually supports comparison.
World Bank
Forest area is a land-system pressure indicator, not a climate-emissions proxy.

Protected-area coverage is a first habitat signal, but it still needs quality and enforcement context.

Land protection should be read beside forest, agriculture, and biodiversity indicators.

This paired view separates land-system structure from emissions and climate impacts.
Each dot is one paired year. Hover or focus a dot for both values and the year it represents.

Protected-area coverage needs to sit beside habitat-state indicators rather than replace them.

Metric snapshots
Snapshot and live-rate cards are kept separate from historical charts so they do not pretend to show a trend.
