Hack the Red List: Endangered Plant Species by Country

Visualisation showing the number of critically endangered (CR), endangered (EN) and vulnerable (VU) plant species by country, using data from the Sampled Red List Index. Dark countries do not have any SRLI-listed species.

This is the result of work at the Hack the IUCN Red List hackathon, November 2014. The source code and data are on GitHub. The visualisation uses the D3 Waterman Butterfly projection.
