Very nice Youtube channel! Concepts are the building blocks for all theories, hypotheses, and empirical investigations.
Enjoyed starting a YouTube channel describing concepts in conservation. Have ideas for future videos but welcome suggestions of something interesting that illustrates a general issue. Also welcome ideas for getting this known by those who would benefit. youtube.com/@Bill_Sutherland

Pixel size of unprojected maps may be "~1 km at the Equator", but that can be very different at more temperate or polar latitudes. If your pixel size matters, try this R function combining 'terra' pkg tools to get the mean or central pixel size in your map modtools.wordpress.com/2024/…
