geobounds: Download Administrative Boundary Data from 'geoBoundaries'
Provides tools to download individual country boundaries and global composite boundaries from 'geoBoundaries' <https://www.geoboundaries.org/> across multiple administrative ('ADM') levels. Returns boundaries as 'sf' objects for mapping and spatial analysis. Runfola et al. (2020) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0231866> describe the underlying database.
