iNaturalist species taxonomy mapped to emoji

An Emoji Map based on iNaturalist data (for the Lübecker Bucht, Germany).

Currently, there are about 160 Million species observations available worldwide. I wrote a mapping 1, where species taxonomy is assigned to available, known nature & animal emoji, at different granularities. The map was made based on clustering of emoji observations with tagmaps python package. 2

Sadly, neither ArcPro nor Mapnik currently support color emoji. Therefore, a next step is to use svg-icons of emoji in mapnik, to use colored emoji.
