This is an old method (rest services) that is just about to be retired, so we may need to look at other methods at some point. But I think this should be possible.

ok, whatever works. I noticed they are using this for GeoCAT, but seems like it is not working well:

looks like the tiling order has changed. The original is from an ESRI rest service and it seems the ESRI will be dropping this at some point, but for the moment we'll just pull whichever method is easiest. Shall we gather a list of layers we would like to have?

A few more off top of my head:

Jung et al IUCN habitat map: https://uploads.users.earthengine.app/view/habitat-types-map
Human Footprint 1993 and 2009 https://wcshumanfootprint.org/v2/
Important Bird Areas? http://datazone.birdlife.org/site/requestgis this can link to factsheets that are useful for Red Listing.
