Could you build this?

Partial The web GIS interface can be vibe-coded, but ingesting, cleaning, provenance-tracking, and modeling authoritative Korean ornithological and biodiversity datasets requires specialized domain data expertise.

What it would actually take: The stack would involve PostGIS / GeoServer with Mapbox/MapLibre on the frontend and an ETL pipeline (Python/GDAL) to ingest KBR/NIBR datasets. The core challenge is ornithological domain expertise to reconcile disparate regional occurrence evidence, establish provenance pipelines, and handle ecological absence vs. recording bias.
