This layer is a global 110 km grid indicating the proportion of protection and encroachment for each cell. The cell id references the grid from Jetz et al. (2012).

Three proportion values of protection are provided: 'Non Community', 'Community' and 'Total'. The protection has been calculated using the WDPA (UNEP and IUCN, version December 2019) and the RAISG data (Amazonia 2019). Community protected areas encompass RAISG and those protected areas from the WDPA designated with any of the following wild cards: Aborig*, Indigen*, Commun*, Conservanc*, Local*, Region*, Trust*, Conservator*, Private*, Nature Center*. Non Community protected areas refer to those not belonging to the previous selection in the WDPA. Total protected areas is the combination of both Community and Non Community protected areas described above.

The mean Human modification ()Kennedy et al., 2019) ranges between 0 (no modification) to 1 (complete modification). Then, four proportion values of human modification are provided: Urban, Irrigated Agriculture, Rainfed Agriculture and Rangelands. The four classes have been derived using the Anthrome Classification Algorithm from Ellis et al. (2010) using the following key:

Urban: 11: Urban/12: Mixed settlements

Rainfed agriculture: 21: Rice villages/23: Rainfed villages/32: Residential rainfed croplands/33: Populated croplands/34: Remote croplands

Irrigated agriculture: 22: Irrigated villages/31: Residential irrigated croplands

Rangeland: 24: Pastoral villages/41: Residential rangelands/42: Populated rangelands/43: Remote rangelands
