``pywdpa`` Python package
*************************


|Python version| |PyPI version| |GitHub Actions| |License| |Zenodo|


Overview
========

The ``pywdpa`` Python package is an interface to the World Database on
Protected Areas (WDPA) hosted on the Protected Planet website at
`<https://www.protectedplanet.net>`_. The ``pywdpa`` package provides
functions to download shapefiles of protected areas (PA) for any
countries with an iso3 code using the Protected Planet API at
`<https://api.protectedplanet.net>`_. The ``pywdpa`` package
translates some functions of the R package ``worldpa``
(`<https://github.com/FRBCesab/worldpa>`_) in the Python language.
