Service Description:

Ecosystem condition indicates whether the natural environment is intact and connected.

Reputational risk is likely to be higher in scapes that are still intact/connected/etc. (as the impact of corporate activities will be more significant) and of higher profile (as the social / cultural response and critique will be greater). This indicator aims to evaluate intactness and connectivity of ecosystems as an aspect of biodiversity - independent of any legal or administrative delineation. To this end, data for the following aspects of biodiversity have been included: terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystem intactness and connectivity.
The ecosystem condition indicator has been calculated separately for terrestrial, freshwater and marine areas. Terrestrial: Biodiversity Intactness Index and Functional Connectivity of the Worlds Protected Areas were used. Freshwater: The Water Risk Filter’s (WRF) Fragmentation Status of Rivers has been integrated into the Biodiversity Risk Filter without changes. See the specific risk indicator layers in the WRF methodology for more details. Marine areas: Ocean Health Index’ habitat condition data for six marine ecosystems was considered.

What does very high risk mean for this indicator?
Areas of very high risk are estimated to have high levels of ecosystem intactness ( >97.5 and 100% for terrestrial and marine areas, respectively) and high levels of connectivity (low fragmentation of rivers and high mammal movement probability). See the documentation for more details.
