This basemap was designed with the Vizzuality team for use in the Half-Earth Project globe. The saturated palette and rich landcover tones are meant to engage an audience and to provide the sense that the earth is a charming and beautiful place worthy of thoughtful stewardship. As you zoom in, the saturated basemap is slowly replaced by imagery.This basemap is the major component of the Vibrant Map. The Vibrant Map is configured to use these basemap tiles from global to regional extents, then transition to Esri's World Imagery basemap tiles for a seamless transition from small to large scale.Find more information about this basemap, and its contributing data, here: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/mapping/creating-the-half-earth-vibrant-basemap/Learn more about the Half-Earth Project here and explore highlighted areas of biodiversity here.Happy Mapping!

What can you do with this layer?This layer can be used throughout the ArcGIS system. Feature layers can be used just like any other vector layer. You can use feature layers as an input to geoprocessing tools in ArcGIS Pro or in Analysis in ArcGIS Online. Combine the layer with others in a map and set custom symbology or create a pop-up tailored for your users. For the details of working with feature layers the help documentation for ArcGIS Pro or the help documentation for ArcGIS Online are great places to start. The ArcGIS Blog is a great source of ideas for things you can do with feature layers.
