The gridded data are classified according to their raster value (wild = 0-10; not wild >10). The ten largest polygons of more than 5 square kilometers within each biome by realm are selected and identified. This dataset is produced by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN), and is available in the Geographic Coordinate system. Purpose: To provide a map of wild areas in geographic projection which can be used in wildlife conservation planning, natural resource management, and research on human-environment interactions. Supplemental_Information: To reproduce this dataset, the following steps are recommended: 1) Classify the Human Footprint grid according to raster value (wild = 0-10; not wild >10). 2) Eliminate all polygons <5 square kilometers. 3) Select and identify the 10 largest polygon within each biome by realm.
