add native range to add hoc list template #10

@LienReyserhove I think it would be a good idea to add native range and the controlled vocab we had for that to the add hoc checklist.

Good idea to add native range indeed. However, we do not have a vocab for this term. For plant species, we use the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Species Distribution (WGSRPD). For other species, you can use e.g. this wikipedia page as inspiration. Hope we might find a controlled vocab one day.

ok, so be it. It will add to the complexity of scripting the indicators but so be it. I added native range to the template and referred in the legend tab to the mentioned vocabularies. These will however not be ok for marine species. Since there is no controlled vocab in GRIIS, we could refer to the categories in the NOBANIS checklist, or we could just rely on the categories in WRIMS if they have them.
