Accessing Real-time Global Environmental Databases
As we all know, historical and current environmental data on global drivers that affect climate change and biodiversity can be hard to find as data sets vary in access. ENCORE (Exploring Natural Capital Opportunities, Risks and Exposure) is a tool to help users better understand and visualise the impact of environmental change on the economy. By focusing on the goods and services that nature provides to enable economic production, it guides users in understanding how businesses across all sectors of the economy potentially depend and impact on nature, and how these potential dependencies and impacts might represent a business risk. The ENCORE database provides links to global data sets to track global environmental risks

I found UN World Environmental Situations Room (UN WESR) data for the multiple hazards mapping of particular interest as here below you can see a screenshot of where wildfires that threaten biodiversity are being recorded TODAY!
Highly recommend accessing these databases to access environmental datasets and the potential threats to wildlife.
