    Biodiversity Intactness Index 2025

    Measures how ecological communities have changed in response to human pressures. Higher values in this index reflect ecological communities (animals, plants and fungi) that are relatively intact and unchanged from their original conditions.

    This measure provides a vital assessment of how abundances of animals, plants and fungi have changed due to human impacts, reflecting that effective conservation management seeks to maintain populations at high abundances where they are more likely to survive stochastic threats. Maintaining a high BII is an indicator that a country contains healthy, thriving ecological communities that tolerant of human impacts.

    The higher the score, the better the country ranks for this parameter.

    The higher the score, the better the country ranks for this parameter.

    The table is sorted from the highest score to the lowest:
