#' Biodiversity Intactness Index
#'
#' The variable is the modelled average abundance of originally-present species,
#' relative to their abundance in an intact ecosystem. Please refer to
#' Newbold et al. (2016) for all details, and please cite it when using these
#' data.
#'
#' To use this data in mapme workflows, you will have to manually download the
#' global data set and point towards the file path on your local machine.
#' Please find the available data under the source link given below.

#' @param path A character vector to the biodiversity intactness index ASCII file.
#' @returns A function that returns an `sf` footprints object.
