01 — Data download (step 1: reproduction from the authors’ published map)

LifeWatch ERIC

Fetches every input for step 1 (Colombia reproduction of the natural-regeneration potential area) into data/raw/. No credentials are needed.

Only tiles that intersect the GADM Colombia polygon are downloaded. Tile selection is computed from the polygon, not hard-coded. Every file is checked against the Zenodo md5 (authors’ files) or a pinned md5 (GADM). Downloads are idempotent: a file that already exists with the right checksum is not fetched again.

Colombia boundary (GADM 4.1, level 0)

The paper used GADM (2022) for country sums; GADM 4.1 (July 2022) is that release.

File list and md5 checksums come from the Zenodo REST API. Continuous tiles are named pnv_pct_30m_tile_<xmin>_<xmax>_<ymin>_<ymax>.tif; a tile is kept when that rectangle intersects the Colombia polygon (islands included).

The binary product is a zip of 84 numbered tiles. Extract only the members whose raster bounds (read from the header inside the zip) intersect Colombia.
