# Baseline risk of biodiversity loss The baseline risk of biodiversity loss can be extrapolated from public data at the level of the ecosystem (i.e., IUCN Red List ecosystem with a threat level of Critically Endangered) or it can be gathered from the list of threatened species native to the region (i.e., UICN Red List of Threatened Species native to the ecosystem). Habitat loss data such as deforestation rates for the zone from Global Forest Watch ([www.globalforestwatch.org/map](https://www.globalforestwatch.org/map/)) can be provided as supporting material. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://sexytrees.savimbo.com/baseline-assessment/baseline-risk-of-biodiversity-loss.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
