Species and their environments

Wildlife records in ECHO EARTH can be explored by species name and region. Habitat descriptions are shown when supported by a source; coverage varies by taxon, language and the quality of available material.

Occurrence records are evidence with limits

An occurrence is a submitted record from a particular time and place, often generalized or incomplete. It does not mean the species is presently at the map marker or that other locations without a record are empty.

Nature adventure versus scientific data

Walk and Adventure include simulated collection mechanics and decorative natural elements. They are distinct from real-world species records and should not be presented as observed population maps.
