The Equal Earth Physical Map isn't just gorgeous to look at, it's also:
It’s important as we work through the steps of language revitalization to nurture the linguistic and dialectical beauty of Indigenous languages— and not to promote a singular or couple dialects over the preservation of smaller, regional dialects.⠀
In the Philippines, mining, agribusiness, logging and coal plants are driving attacks against environmental activists – with household brands such as Del Monte Philippines and Dole Philippines, and Filipino giants like San Miguel Corporation linked to local partners accused of attacks and murders of protestors.⠀
It's a #nobones day and jellyfish populations are on the rise almost everywhere.⠀
They lied, thousands died.
Human-made materials now weigh as much as all living biomass.
The Korean peninsula, undivided. Made by an unknown cartographer sometime in the 19th century. This is the only known map from the Joseon dynasty labelled exclusively in the Korean alphabet.⠀
After years of privatization eroding the quality and accessibility of public goods and services - like water, transport, housing, energy, electricity, telecommunications, waste treatment, health, and education - there's a growing movement for the return of public services to public ownership, and it's happening mostly at the grassroots municipal level.⠀
The forests that gave rise to the world's tallest trees are also a hotspot of Indigenous cultural and linguistic diversity.
Tonight is one of the largest bird migration nights of the year. For those in areas under heavy migration advisories, this will be a great opportunity to experience nocturnal migration by listening at night to vocal birds in flight, or by observing the following morning for new arrival and departures. ⠀
‘Multispecies Resistance: A Cartography of Love and Disaster’ is a visual and ecopolitical mapping project that aims to inspire you, an inhabitant of Europe, to explore your home and appreciate your own nonhuman neighbors and territories. By engaging with the lines and colours on this map, you engage with creatures, geographical features, ecosystems and natural borders that exceed geopolitical frontiers. The design symbolizes the richness of a continent that is too often assumed to be destroyed or no longer majestically wild.
The American education system had us knowing the names of the three boats Columbus came on better than the tribes whose land we live on.
