Description: Species distributions indexed from the dwca distribution extension are recommended to use area identifiers to refer to known areas. For those areas usually polygon shapes are available. If the areas we index get interpreted nicely we can show a map for the distributions we receive.

The issue needs corresponding issues on checklistbank to do the interpretations and somewhere area polygons need to be stored.
