Horizon Scan for Vertebrates in Trade

Description

This is a dataset summarizing filtering criteria and rapid risk assessments for ~25,000 species undertaken during a data-driven horizon scan of imported fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The files represented in this dataset are the following: 1) 'species_filtering_metadata_table.xlsx' is the tabular summary of all intake list species names and the reason for inclusion/exclusion. 2) 'review_scores.xlsx' is the tabular summary of taxa expert risk assessment scores for species included after filtering. These data will be relayed to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for further assessment and prioritization related to import regulation.
