Researchers mapped the distribution of destructive human activities in locations occupied by 5,457 threatened birds, mammals and amphibians across the globe. They found 1,237 species impacted by threats to than 90 per cent of their habitat, and 395 species impacted by threats across their entire range, including many charismatic large mammals.
