I appreciate what you're doing here. I think it's really important to have this kind of high level overview of these species. I have a little feedback based on clicking around the site.
When you click on a country in the map view(under Elephants, for example), I think the map still has focus instead of the card. So this means you can't highlight text, click on links, etc within the card. Also if you scroll using the scroll wheel, you end up zooming in and out on the map.
I wonder if it would be good to have a "see more" link or some such here, so you can view the same information in the card, but on its own discrete page for each country?
