Known gaps, stated plainly
What is not here, and why. These lines come from the app and are removed the day a layer ships.
- Category I and II protected species and species protection sites are not in the app: Estonian law keeps their locations closed. Important Bird Areas and the forest register are not included; their licences do not allow it yet.
