Download Spatial Data of Protected Natural Areas (ANP) in Peru

Description

Downloads spatial data of protected natural areas in Peru declared by SERNANP (National Service of Natural Areas Protected by the State). Data were obtained from the SERNANP Geographic Information Viewer as the official source. The data use WGS 84 (EPSG:4326).

Usage

get_anp_peru(anp = NULL, showProgress = TRUE)

Arguments

anp

A character or a vector with the name(s) of the protected natural areas in Peru.

showProgress

Logical TRUE or FALSE to display a progress bar during download.

Value

An ⁠"sf" "data.frame"⁠ object containing the spatial data of Peru's protected natural areas.

Examples

if (interactive()) {
# Read specific ANP
manu <- get_anp_peru(anp = "Manu")

}

Download spatial data of Peru

Description

Downloads spatial data of Peru using the WGS 84 geodetic reference system (EPSG:4326).

Usage

get_geo_peru(
  geography = "all",
  level = "all",
  simplified = TRUE,
  showProgress = TRUE
)

Arguments

geography

# Read specific province
anta <- get_geo_peru(geography = "ANTA",
                     level = "prov",
                     simplified = TRUE)

}
