Incorrect "Recommendation to conservationists" in document #1

Open JagaRamesh opened 6 years ago

JagaRamesh commented 6 years ago

The mentioned recommendation for conservationists is to pay more attention to Vascular plants based on the number of protected species. It's best to look at the "percent protected" instead of the numbers on "protected".

For example, in Vascular plants, out of the total 4262 species, 4216 are not protected and only 46 is protected. So, only 1% of species is protected.

In Mammals and birds, about 17% and 15% are protected which indicates that Mammals and Birds are more endangered.

Thank you Jaga!

My focus seems to have shifted a little bit. Makes sense to pay attention to percent protected not the numbers, because that was the whole point when doing the project, pivoting the data to get a clearer picture of what's going on with species.

Thanks again! I really appreciate your time and effort put into giving the review just like your getting back to me with feedback that fast! That means a lot to me. Thank you))
