Initial Exploration
Below is the distribution of all bird inside Lekagul Preserve that are detected by sensors. While there are many different species inside Lekagul Preserve, only Rose-crested Blue Pipit is seen grouping in the alleged dumping site area.
Thus looking at this behavior, it made sense that the Kasios was blamed with the disappearance of Rose-crested Blue Pipit. Of all species that live inside Lekagul Preserve, Rose-crested Blue Pipit is the species that will greatly be affected by the dumping situation. However, not only Rose-crested Blue Pipit, but other species, such as Ordinary Snape is also seen grouping near the dumping site.
Bombadill and Vermillion Trillian is also spotted grouping near the dumping site, albeit further than Ordinary Snape and Rose-crested Blue Pipit.
We will use all this species as our control group because if indeed the dumping site was the cause of Rose-crested Blue Pipit disappearance, then these species should also be affected. As mention in the description, the extent of the area affected by the dumping site is unknown.
Disappearance of many Rose-crested Blue Pipit
As we mention in our approach, we only use the data from 2006 - 2017. The reason for this decision was, even though the assignment description stated that the patterns are reasonably representative of the bird locations across the area, all birds did not have significant record until 2006, as seen from the graph.
