Inputs#
data/landcover/world_protected_areas/*.shp
: shapefiles representing the world protected areas, such as the World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA).
Outputs#
resources/natura/natura.tiff
: Rasterized version of the world protected areas, such as WDPA natural protection areas to reduce computation times.
Description#
To operate the script you need all input files.
This script collects all shapefiles available in the folder data/landcover/* describing regions of protected areas, merges them to one shapefile, and create a rasterized version of the region, that covers the region described by the cutout. The output is a raster file with the name natura.tiff in the folder resources/natura/.
