For my final data visualization project, I chose to work with the endangered plants of California
I decided to work with this dataset because I find plants intersenting and I think it's sad some are going extinct
In my visualization, the data is represented as dots, each being a type of endangered plant. The y axis represents the elevation and the x axis in the level of endangerment (G1 being least G5 being most)
To interact with the visualization, try hovering over the dots and clicking the buttons
One interesting thing I noticed during this project is how plants with higher elevation were less endangered
Something I still wonder about is how we could work towards preventing these plants from going extinct
The most challenging moment of this project was cleaning up the code. I had nearly 4000 data points, and had to make sure everything was as automated as possible.
If I had more time, I would like to do something involing the bloom months. I had all the data, I just didn't have the time to input it into my project.
My proudest moment during this project was whenever we had a worktime and I figured something out after struggling for a long time.
