Kruger National Park Boundary And Environmental Predictors

The dataset contains ESRI Shapefile of Kruger National Park and environmental predictors used in habitat modeling for White-backed Vultures. The data includes elevation from a Digital Surface Model (ESA Sinergis, 2021), land use and land cover (LULC) from Sentinel-2 Land Cover Explorer (Esri, 2023), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and Land Surface Temperature (LST) from Earth Explorer. Additionally, the dataset features calculated distances to the nearest water sources (DNW) and roads (DNR) using spatial analysis in R. These predictors were selected based on their relevance to the species' habitat preferences and behaviors.
