6.1 Schematic from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services describing the main elements and relationships linking nature, biodiversity and ecosystem services, human well-being and sustainable development. (In this diagram, anthropogenic drivers equate to the pressures as described in Section 6.3)
6.2 Interconnections between people, biodiversity, ecosystem health and provision of ecosystem services showing drivers and pressures
6.3 Examples of global distribution of pressures on (a) threat intensity (H: high; L: low; M: medium; VH: very high; VL: very low) from terrestrial invasive alien species and (b) cumulative fisheries by-catch intensity for seabirds, sea mammals and sea turtles, by all gear types (gillnet, longline and trawl)
6.4 Percentage of threatened (critically endangered, endangered and vulnerable) and near threatened amphibian, bird and mammal species by major threat class
6.5 Map of the global human footprint for 2009 (combined pressures of infrastructure, land cover and human access into natural areas, using a 0-50 on a cool to hot colour scales) (a), and absolute change in average human footprint from 1993 to 2009 at the ecoregion scale (b)
6.6 Impact mechanism of invasive alien species on threatened species in Europe
6.7 Recorded number of rhinoceros poached in South Africa, 2007-2015. In 2011, the rhino population in South Africa numbered just over 20,000
6.8 Global map showing species vulnerable to climate change
6.9 Proportions of local animal breeds, classified as being at risk, not at risk or unknown level of risk of extinction
6.10 Cumulative number of species with whole genome sequences (2000-2016)
6.11 The proportion of species in each extinction risk category of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species
6.12 Red List Index of species survival for birds, mammals, amphibians, corals and cycads, and an aggregate (in light green) for all species
6.13 Global Living Planet Index
6.14 Terrestrial Biodiversity Intactness Index
6.15 Mechanisms of ecosystem collapse, and symptoms of the risk of collapse
6.16 Mean percentage change in each broad habitat type based on satellite imagery: (a) change from original land-cover type between 2001 and 2012; (b) vegetation productivity as measured using the Enhanced Vegetation Index between the years 2000-2004 and 2009-2013
6.17 Global trends in the state of the world’s marine stocks 1975-2015
6.18 Extinction risk of global freshwater fauna by taxonomic group
6.19 Capacity of mountains to provide ecosystem services
6.20 Protected areas of the world
