  • Local presence(Marginal → Widespread)
  • Exported from Brazil(Marginal → Widespread)
  • Brazil
  • Absent (checked)
  • No data

Equal Earth projection. Places with uncertain presence take the color of the highest possible level; the table shows the full range.

04How we got this number

Presence abroad

Sum of each place's weight: widespread = 1, regional = 0.5, marginal = 0.1. Where it only exists as a Brazilian export, the weight is multiplied by 0.5.

0
Exclusivity E

From 0 (exists everywhere) to 1 (only in Brazil), on a log scale.

1
Intensity I

How much more common it is in Brazil than in the other places where it exists.

Editorial assessment (fictional data). editorial judgment

4 of 4
Rarity coefficient R

R = E + 0.5 × (I ÷ 4) × (1 − E)

R = 1 + 0.5 × (4 ÷ 4) × (1 − 1) = 1
