In daijiang/rnps: Species Lists for National Park Services

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)

rnps

R package to get National Park Services' species Lists.

Overview

This package is set to help download species lists (at this moment, may extend to download other data) from park units managed by National Park Services. The website we download from is NPSpecies, which includes >500 park units for 17 taxa groups. I have downloaded all available records for plants (rnps::nps_plants) and birds (rnps::nps_birds) in this package since it takes a while to do so.

To check all park units, use

rnps::get_nps_code()

To check all taxa groups, use

rnps::get_taxa_code()

To get species list of one taxa group at a specific park, use

rnps::get_one_park(parkcode = "ACAD", categcode = 3) # 3 for fish

Further ideas

It is possible to also download other information about national parks, such as area, visitors, etc in the future. Contributes are welcome.
