Interesting map @malxredleader ! Can you help me reproduce the data? ... I go to https://www.iucnredlist.org, click the "magnifying glass" by the search box, leave type=species, leave taxonomy as default (fungi, plantae, anamalia, chromista), Red List category (I select Endangered and Critically Endangered), I expand Land Regiona -> expand North America -> expand United States, and select North Carolina. I assume the (63) beside North Carolina means there are 63 matches. ... but the map says 136.

Hi! So to replicate the data, you can click on the GBIF link which will take you to a large data file with all of the findings. GBIF's data is more regularly updated and tends to have a more complete picture of the animals present since some have subtle range crossover not usually picked up by IUCN
