Monroe County Biodiversity

An interactive map showing the Biodiversity Intactness Index scores for Monroe County, Indiana. See more info about the BII here, which is compiled by the British Natural History Museum on a global scale of 0-100, and measures biodiversity change using abundance data on plants, fungi and animals worldwide. The Index shows how local terrestrial biodiversity responds to human pressures such as land use change and intensification.
