When you zoom in you will see shaded points. The points follow rivers produced by
remote sensing (Free-flowing Rivers, 2019: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1111-9).
To facilitate online viewing the mapped points are a subset at intervals
of approximately 10 kilometers.
The points are brown where populations are predicted to decline by 50%
- When you zoom in you will see shaded points.
The points are brown where populations are predicted to decline by 50%
or more within 3 generations (35 years). Brown points therefore represent
rivers where the species is Endangered ("Em perigo" / "En peligro"),
following the IUCN Red List population size reduction criteria - A3bd
(https://www.iucnredlist.org/about/faqs).

The points are locations along rivers where *Podocnemis unifilis* females
are likely to nest and that are likely to be accessible to people by boat.
- The points follow rivers mapped by remote sensing.
This standardized global scale mapping comes from
Grill et al 2019, Free-flowing Rivers: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1111-9.
The points are locations along rivers selected to represent where
*Podocnemis unifilis* females are likely to nest and that are likely
to be accessible to people by boat. To facilitate online viewing the mapped
points are a subset at intervals of approximately 10 kilometers.

by country and major basin using the full set of points at 1 kilometer
intervals. To date subpopulations have not been identified due to a lack of
comprehensive genetic analysis. Summaries by basin are provided as these

aquatic species. The implementation of conservation actions is regulated
at national levels so summaries are also provided by country.
