In Chapter 3 of State of the World's Raptors. We created Raptor Conservation Regions by grouping countries with similar raptor species. These regions can be used to study, monitor, and conserve the world's raptors. Big thanks to @mbzraptorfund for collaboration. Check it out!

Please stop publishing in mdpi and frontiers journals.
The best thing you can do for the environment is donate to NGOs that take direct action and vote for candidates that actually care about conservation.
