Wildlife Census

Description:

An interactive web application that will allow the user to evaluate population density of endangered wildlife species based on user input of latitude and longtiude.

User Story:

As a user,

I want to be able to see wildlife density on endangered species, based on geographic location around the world, presented with information about the species.

So that I can know where endangered animals are concentrated around the world and basic information about their species.

Link to Deployed Application:

https://mdschenck.github.io/Wildlife-Census/

API’s Used:

GBIF - This project uses the Global Biodiversity Information Facility API to display population density as occurence points on a worldwide map. The GBIF project aims to provide anyone, anywhere open access to data about all types of life on Earth.

Wikipedia - This project uses the Wikipedia API to pull in species statistics and display next to the population map. Wikipedia is an open-source web based dictionary founded in 2001.

MapBox API - This project uses the Mapbox API to display the map on the page and overlay the endangered species information from the GBIF API.

Technologies Used:

This project makes use of the following technologies in order to create the UI and functionality, and to meet the project requirements:

  • Materialize CSS Framework
  • Modals for error messages
  • Javascript
  • Fetch API Calls

Project Requirements:

This project meets the following project requirements and acceptance criteria:

  • Use a CSS framework other than Bootstrap.
  • Be deployed to GitHub Pages.
  • Be interactive (i.e., accept and respond to user input).
  • Use at least two server-side APIs.
  • Does not use alerts, confirms, or prompts (use modals).
  • Use client-side storage to store persistent data.
  • Be responsive.
  • Have a polished UI.
  • Have a clean repository that meets quality coding standards (file structure, naming conventions, follows best practices for class/id naming conventions, indentation, quality comments, etc.).
  • Have a quality README (with unique name, description, technologies used, screenshot, and link to deployed application).

Usage:

When the user visits the site, they are presented with an unpopulated map that locates to the user's coordinates, input fields for Latitude and Longitude, and a dropdown menu with endangered species to choose from.

Screenshot showing deployed application on page load

When the user enters a Latitude and Longitude input along with selecting a species, the map will locate to the new coordinates, and populate sighting occurances for the wildlife selected. The species summary and image will populate to show a picture of the species as well as as a description from the Wikipedia Api.

Screenshot showing deployed application on page load

When the user enters new search parameters, the map will locate to the new coordinates and display the new species information, and the species image and description will change to the new species selected. The user's searches are stored in local storage and displayed beneath the map. When the user clicks on "Clear Stored Searches", local storage is cleared and the page goes back to the initial load state.

Screenshot showing deployed application on page load

When the user clicks the "Citations" link, they are redirected to the Citations page with information on the API's used and their organization information.

          www.gbif.org Accessed 10 April, 2022. "GBIF—the Global Biodiversity
          Information Facility—is an international network and data

          "GBIF—the Global Biodiversity Information Facility—is an international
          network and data infrastructure funded by the world's governments and
          aimed at providing anyone, anywhere, open access to data about all
          types of life on Earth. Coordinated through its Secretariat in
          Copenhagen, the GBIF network of participating countries and
          organizations, working through participant nodes, provides
          data-holding institutions around the world with common standards, best
          practices and open-source tools enabling them to share information
          about where and when species have been recorded. This knowledge
          derives from many sources, including everything from museum specimens
          collected in the 18th and 19th century to geotagged smartphone photos
          shared by amateur naturalists in recent days and weeks. The GBIF
          network draws all these sources together through the use of data
          standards, including Darwin Core, which forms the basis for the bulk
          of GBIF.org's index of hundreds of millions of species occurrence
          records. Publishers provide open access to their datasets using
          machine-readable Creative Commons licence designations, allowing
          scientists, researchers and others to apply the data in hundreds of
          peer-reviewed publications and policy papers each year. Many of these
          analyses—which cover topics from the impacts of climate change and the
          spread of invasive and alien pests to priorities for conservation and
          protected areas, food security and human health— would not be possible
          without this."
