BIM Web service R Package

Data access using rBIM R package

BIM provides downloadable access in various databases using defined parameters. The mapper web service allows you to visualize high resolution of species occurrences specific to ASEAN countries. These datasets can be downloaded and analyse for reserachers, policy makers, universities, NGO and non-government organizations.

Species occurrence per country

To get a list of species occurrence per country
A simple way to get data from the server and visualize using map using GBIF online mapper

Note: Parameters for &country = 'country=PH' # country code of Philippines
Generating species occurrence map per country
