Metric definition (proxy used in the HTML blocks):
Threatened animals (mammals + birds) = EN.MAM.THRD.NO + EN.BIR.THRD.NO
These are IUCN Red List–derived counts distributed via the World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI).
“Latest available year” differs by country (in this download the latest year is typically 2022 for most countries).

Notes:
- Aggregates (regions/income groups) are excluded using the World Bank metadata country file.
- Values are counts of threatened species (not rates). Interpretation requires context: high biodiversity exposure tends to produce higher threatened counts.

Primary sources:
- World Bank WDI indicator EN.MAM.THRD.NO (Mammal species, threatened)
- World Bank WDI indicator EN.BIR.THRD.NO (Bird species, threatened)
- IUCN Red List (upstream source referenced by WDI)
