Introduction
You’re a data analyst for ForestQuery, a non-profit organization. on a mission to reduce deforestation around the world and which raises awareness about this important environmental topic.
Your executive director and her leadership team members are looking to understand which countries and regions around the world seem to have forests that have been shrinking in size, and also which countries and regions have the most significant forest area, both in terms of amount and per cent of total area. The hope is that these findings can help inform initiatives, communications, and personnel allocation to achieve the largest impact with the precious few resources that the organization has at its disposal.
You’ve been able to find tables of data online dealing with forestation as well as total land area and region groupings, and you’ve brought these tables together into a database that you’d like to query to answer some of the most important questions in preparation for a meeting with the ForestQuery executive team coming up in a few days. Ahead of the meeting, you’d like to prepare and disseminate a report for the leadership team that uses complete sentences to help them understand the global deforestation overview between 1990 and 2016.
Steps to Complete
Create a View called “forestation” by joining all three tables - forest_area, land_area and regions in the workspace.
The forest_area and land_area tables join on both country_code AND year.
The regions table joins these based on the only country_code.
In the ‘forestation’ View, include the following:
All of the columns of the origin tables
A new column that provides the per cent of the land area that is designated as forest.
Keep in mind that the column forest_area_sqkm in the forest_area table and the land_area_sqmi in the land_area table are in different units (square kilometres and square miles, respectively), so an adjustment will need to be made in the calculation you write (1 sq mi = 2.59 sq km).
