PCA biplot of the ordination of animal species on three variables: 1 number of use categories, 2 number of management categories, 3 number of cultural groups that use/manage the animal. The first principal component (PC1) explained 59.84% of the variance whereas the second one (PC2) explained 26.69% of it. Variation along the first principal component is mainly given by the differences in the number of uses and the number of cultural groups that use the species. Variation in the number of management categories was explained by both components. In the right half of the biplot, we find the species with more types of uses, more types of management and those which are used by more cultural groups. The species related with more types of management practices are concentrated in the upper right quadrant of the biplot
