<p>Predicted changes in cumulative SHOI globally and in example regions.</p>

Maps of total global SHOI (product of cumulative habitat suitability and log transformed human population density; A) and median predicted changes in total SHOI by 2050 (D) and 2090 (G). Insets show zoomed in maps for example regions in West Africa (red border; B, E, H) and North-Eastern South America (black border; C, F; I). The most widespread predicted increases in overlap between medically important snakes and people can be seen in Eastern North America, across the Indian subcontinent, and Eastern Asia. Decreases are much more widespread. Within example regions, increases and decreases are patchier, with increases predicted along the Andes, Northern, and Western West Africa.
