I am hoping someone could help with a personal project I'm working on. I am trying to extract climate zones from World Terrestrial Ecosystems Pro Package (*.ppkx) to be able to use them in a Tableau map (*.shp)

The current file is a raster map and I would need a shapefile to be able to visualize within Tableau.

My initial approach was using "Raster to Polygon" >>> "Simplify Polygon" and then hopefully Export as *.shp but this has been fairly slow and because the climate areas are not contiguous polygons the results are not great.

Is there a better way or approach that I'm not thinking of? I don't need to have extreme resolution at the pixel level, just some overall shapes that are closeish to the raster map. Perhaps some lat/long outputs would work, I'm just not sure I'm doing it correctly.

You could try to reclassify before performing raster to polygon.
