Academic Focus
I am currently researching global environmental changes, particularly how deforestation affects biodiversity and climate. As part of my project, I’m working with a dataset that explores forest area percentages across different countries over time.
My Research Topics:
- Deforestation rates in South America
- Forest cover change from 2000 to 2020
- The impact of agriculture and land use on ecosystems
Dataset Summary
The dataset I'm analyzing comes from the UN's Goal 15 indicators. I cleaned the file by removing rows with missing data, formatting country names consistently, and converting string values to numeric for analysis. This cleaned data allows me to create visualizations and trends on forest loss globally.
