The map above shows the AZE sites that must be effectively protected if the world’s most threatened species are to survive. This map is updated annually, with the most recent update having taken place in 2026. The location of each AZE site is shown as a polygon on the map above. Sites can be searched by country, region, or by a polygon that you select.

To download the AZE dataset, please request the AZE dataset here.

*Please note that a small number of sites that include sensitive species are not shown on the map.
