About

Bird Range Mapper is an interactive archive of Area of Habitats (AOH) for 1,229 small-ranged bird species throughout Central and South America. Its purpose is to make habitat and biodiversity data available to researchers, conservationists, and NGO’s.

These maps are the product of citizen-science data collected by the eBird platform combined with publicly available remote sensing data. See Huang et al. (2021) for detailed information.

All data are freely available for download.
