change botanical garden data to opt-in rather than opt-out

Is it really a good idea to include cultivated plants from botanical gardens?

I am guessing that 95% of your users don't have a use case for occurrence data from zoos and botanical gardens. It's equivalent to people starting to upload their house plants.

I am using a facet API request, so I am not downloading the whole occurence dataset and therefore I can't filter for the locality.

Maybe add a 3rd state: "PRESENT" "ABSENT" "ANTHROPOGENIC"

Thanks!

These are useful data, but the degreeOfEstablishment vocabulary should be used https://dwc.tdwg.org/doe/#dwcdoe_d003
