Check out this interactive atlas!
The first link is an article explaining some of the things you can pull from it.
"An interactive atlas of the world's natural wealth paints a graphic picture of humanity's inexorable spread.
It shows that since 1850 humans have affected almost half the planet's land.
Entitled the World Atlas Of Biodiversity: Earth's Living Resources For The 21st Century, it is the work of the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (Unep-WCMC), based in Cambridge, UK.
It has been collated from the centre's research, the work of independent scientists, and governmental and other reports.
The centre says the data will be made available to users by a unique interactive mapping service accessible from the Unep-WCMC website.
This will let them create their own maps comparing subjects from wilderness density to human population.
