Functions for preparing and analyzing animal tracking data, with the intention of identifying areas which are potentially important at the population level and therefore of conservation interest. Areas identified using this package may be checked against global or regionally-defined criteria, such as those set by the Key Biodiversity Area program. The method published herein is described in full in Beal et al. 2021 <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13713>.
