wdpa_clean error about wdpar HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi,

I haven't seen that error message before. In general, I wouldn't really recommend trying to clean the global dataset with this package as none of the functions are parallel and can take a long time to run with such a large dataset. I would generally recommend trying out https://github.com/jeffreyhanson/global-protected-areas instead which uses ESRI ArcMap.

That being said, if you plan on rasterizing the protected area boundaries then you probably don't need to get rid of overlapping geometries, so you could skip this step using:

wdpa <- wdpa_clean(wdpa_raw, crs = proj4string(base_raster), erase_overlaps = FALSE)

from wdpar.

Thanks very much Jeff!
Will check out the global-protected-areas repo for sure.
