What it shows
This layer maps locations in France associated with plant species on the IUCN Red List — the global inventory of the conservation status and extinction risk of biological species. It helps identify where threatened plant species are present, so that activity in those areas can be screened for its impact on at-risk flora.
How it is built
The layer draws on the IUCN Red List, which assesses the global conservation status and extinction risk of species. For this layer the focus is on plant species within France. Areas linked to recorded threatened plants are represented as mapped polygons, allowing a site to be tested for overlap with locations of conservation concern.
How to read it
This is a boundary layer. A site that intersects, or lies close to, one of the mapped areas should be flagged as potentially affecting a Red List plant species. The relevant consideration is the conservation status of the species tied to that area.

Comparison with the WWF Risk Filter Suite
This layer serves as a partial proxy for WWF Biodiversity Risk Filter indicator S14_2 Key Biodiversity Areas, but for France only. A global Key Biodiversity Areas layer (BirdLife's KBA data, accessed via IBAT) remains a gap in WWF coverage on the Darwin side, so this French plant layer is a localised stand-in rather than a full equivalent.
