Description
Plotting occurrence records on the leaflet map greatly slows down the speed at which the map is rendered. In addition, for species with many records, the climate matching layer becomes practically invisible in certain regions because it is completely covered by occurrence records that are plotted on top. Therefore, we'll add an option that allows the user to choose to not plot these records on the leaflet maps.

Research direction
Start by locating the leaflet map rendering and the code that plots occurrence records. Add a user-selectable option to omit those records, then verify that the climate matching layer remains visible and map rendering is faster when the option is disabled.
