Import and explore the data
In this exercise, we will start with reading and exploring two new datasets:
- First, a dataset on artisanal mining sites in Eastern Congo (adapted from IPIS open data).
- Second, a dataset on the national parks in Congo (adapted from the World Resources Institute).
For each of those datasets, the exercise consists of importing the necessary packages, reading the data with geopandas.read_file(), inspecting the first 5 rows and the Coordinate Reference System (CRS) of the data, and making a quick visualization.
