This data-set shows the most recent global model of the ducks distribution. It is the first update (version 2.01) of the recently published Gridded Livestock of the World (GLW) 2.0 (May 2014). More information and access to the data of GLW version 2.0 are in the dedicated application: http://livestock.geo-wiki.org/ The GLW 2007 remains available for download in FAO Geonetwork. However, the user is advised that a quantitative assessment of change is not possible between the GLW 2007 and the GLW 2.0 (and its updates) due to different modeling techniques, spatial resolution, predicting variables and training data. GLW 2.0 and its updates map separately the chickens and the ducks distributions. The bibliographic reference to the GLW 2.0 and its updates is: Robinson TP, Wint GRW, Conchedda G, Van Boeckel TP, Ercoli V, Palamara E, Cinardi G, D’Aietti L, Hay SI, and Gilbert M. (2014) Mapping the Global Distribution of Livestock. PLoS ONE 9(5): e96084. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0096084
