Thanks for the package! about wdpar HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi,

My pleasure - thanks for looking into it and reaching out!

Yeah there were some dependency issues with wdpar this last week with the wdman and RSelenium packages being archived on CRAN, but now both of those are back on CRAN so hopefully it all works now. Please let me know if you run into any more installation issues?

No, this package isn't really going to work with the full WDPA. If you really, really, really wanted to, you could use the package to clean the data for each country separately in parallel - but you would need 100+ GB RAM, 20+ CPUs, and at least a couple of weeks for run time (or longer). For the global database, I would recommend trying out https://github.com/jeffreyhanson/global-protected-areas (a sort-of precursor to the wdpar package) - but this uses ESRI ArcMap instead of R so it's not a FOSS solution. I'm sorry I don't have a more helpful answer.

Cheers,

Hi, thanks for the quick response and your Arcmap resource!
I got wdpar installed now, no further problems coming up. I will test the dissolving/ erasing overlaps with a couple of countries and get back to you how it works as a loop with the global database.

Best greetings,

So far it doesnt work at all, as I have an error coming up the CRS would be different throughout the loop. Which actually doesnt make sense to me, as all subsets come from the same WDPA object. However ...

Dealing with the WDPA in R seems to be sort of a bigger issue, so once again thanks for the package! In case you are interested in my contribution, feel free to drop me an email @ [email protected]
