Photo 1 (IMAGE) Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ Caption Map of the regions that are home to species with existence value for Germany. The colour scale represents the number of species that occur in parallel in a given location (maximum value for Germany 48, grey represents 0). Shaded areas represent hotspots (the most species-rich 2% of the Earth's surface). Curved black lines show the flows of existence value from regions that provide ecosystem services to Germany (line thickness corresponds to number of species at the point of origin in the region).
