# Appendix D: Species categorization of richness Many of the most biodiverse regions in the planet have incomplete, or inaccurate data. Following is a sample table to show species richness, and biodiversity risk for a sample BCP in the Putumayan Amazon. It is incomplete. While the table is simple, the data itself, and data sources are characteristically underdeveloped. Some easy-to-use public data sources for gathering this data include (but are definitely not limited to): * [iNaturalist](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=7196\&verifiable=any\&view=species) * [Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)](https://www.gbif.org/country/CO/about) * [eBird](https://ebird.org/region/CO?yr=all) Of note, traditional medicine doctors “taitas” in the region describe a medicinal plant formulary of nearly 3,000 vascular plants, nearly double the characterized vascular plants in Western science for the region. #### **Table 10.
