Predictions of environmental patterns in Amazonia

08 August 2017 1 8K Report

Do anymore know if future predictions have been done of the global human footprint and the mammal richness, relying more or less on the methods ("global human influence index" and "global mammal richness grids) developped by the EOSDIS / SEDAC (Nasa) ?

I'm interested by the Amazonian scale.

Thanks,
