# Species Distribution Modeling Guide
A skill for building and evaluating species distribution models (SDMs), covering occurrence data acquisition from biodiversity databases, environmental predictor preparation, model fitting with MaxEnt and ensemble methods, model evaluation, and projection under climate change scenarios.
## Occurrence Data
### Accessing GBIF Data
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is the primary source of species occurrence records:
```python
from pygbif import occurrences, species
def download_occurrences(species_name: str, country: str = None,
