Description: Download climate and environmental data from open and
  free online datasets for any region of the world. The data can be
  used for ecological studies. The area of interest can be a country,
  state or project area and is defined by an extent, vector file or
  country iso-code. Data comes from a variety of sources (e.g. Chelsa,
  OpenStreetMap, TropicalMoistForest, SRTMv4.1, SoilGrids). Climate
  and environmental data are available as multiband raster files at a
  resolution and in the coordinate reference system specified by the
  user. When possible, the package uses the properties of Cloud
  Optimized GeoTIFF ('COGs' <https://www.cogeo.org/>) files to
  download only the portion of the global datasets corresponding to
  the area of interest, reducing download time. The package uses
  'GDAL' <https://gdal.org/> and the R libraries 'terra'
  <https://rspatial.org/> and 'sf' <https://r-spatial.github.io/sf/>
  for optimized processing of raster and vector geospatial data.
