short_description	The global habitat map is a spatial-explicit dataset produced through an intersection of best available data on land cover, climate and human pressures. The map follows the thematic legend of habitat classes as defined by the IUCN habitat classification system and maps as many terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats as possible at global scale.
