Description of Data

For my portfolio, I used data from GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility). https://www.gbif.org

Sightings:

I downloaded data on (Nyctereutes procyonoides) occurrences from 1980 to 2024 which were positioned in Finland. The data was in CSV format and included coordinates for each sighting.

The  data with the same settings was also downloaded about (Calidris pugnax). From 1980 to 2024 positioned in Finland and including all sightings.

Protected areas:

The nature protected areas and wilderness reserves dataset was used as a base to calculate the percentage of raccoon dog sightings near protected areas. https://ckan.ymparisto.fi/dataset/luonnonsuojelu-ja-eramaa-alueet
