I also realized that comparing a desert country like Sudan to a tropical and lush country didn’t tell a clear story either.
I initially looked at totals of threatened species, but the numbers were unreasonably high and didn’t match the UN reports and Red List summaries. I realized that since the data measured the number of threatened species in each country the same species could be listed across multiple countries, and so total numbers worldwide didn’t communicate any useful information, so I separated the data by country. I also realized that comparing a desert country like Sudan to a tropical and lush country didn’t tell a clear story either. I decided to focus on one geographical area and pull out the six biggest countries that contain parts of the Amazon Rainforest: Bolivia, Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. I also wanted to pull out and highlight vertebrates and invertebrates with labels, but the data labels were too long and I had a lot of data to change.
