Data for Good: 人間の経済活動は生物を絶滅に導くのか？

“Data for Good”という言葉をご存知でしょうか。これはデータを活用して社会的な課題を解決しようとする活動です。SAS Japanでは”Data for Good”を目指した取り組みを展開しております。その一つとして、SASはData for Good活動をする学生コミュニティ、「SAS Japan Student Data for Good community」を発足します。これは、社会問題へのアプローチを通して、Data Scienceの流れの経験・スキルの向上・学生間の交流拡大・社会への貢献などの達成を目的とするコミュニティです。このコミュニティのData for Good活動の一環として、本記事では世界の絶滅危惧種についての分析をご紹介します。現在、世界中で何万種もの生物が絶滅の危機に瀕しています。個体数を減らすこととなった原因はもちろんそれぞれの生物によって異なるでしょうが、主たる原因は人間による環境破壊や開発であると言われています。確かに人間の活動が生物に悪影響を及ぼしうることは直感的に正しいと感じられますし、また、仮にそうだとすれば、人間の開発活動を示す値と絶滅危惧種の数には何らかの具体的な関係があるはずだと考えられます。そこで、今回は、国ごとの絶滅危惧種数や開発指数を用いて、それらの関係を調査します。今回の調査ではSAS Visual Analytics 8.3を用いてデータ分析を行いました。今回使用したデータのリストはこちらです。総人口　(World Bank Data) https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.TOTL 面積 (World Bank Data) https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/AG.SRF.TOTL.K2 人口増加率 (World Bank Data) https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.GROW CO2排出量 (World Bank Data) https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PC?locations=1W 一人当たりCO2排出量 (World Bank Data) https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PC?locations=1W GDP (World
