Experts warn of ‘global crisis’ as number of women in prison nears one million Number of women incarcerated around the world rising at nearly three times the rate of men, with female prisoners often subjected to sexual violence and forced labour

I've spent the last year looking into women in prison around the world, with help from so many people. We @theguardian.com are running a series on the topic. Here is the first piece revealing some of what women, many of whom are ignored and forgotten, face. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

The distribution of the world's wild land mammal biomass Our World in Data Biomass is the total weight of each animal group. It's calculated by multiplying an estimate of the total number of individuals by their average mass. Shown is each group's share of global wild mammal biomass on land. Rodents (16%) Squirrels, mice, beavers Even-hoofed mammals (49%) Deer, boars, warthogs, camels, hippos and giraffes Odd-hoofed mammals (1%) Rhinos, zebras, wild horses Bats (7%) Elephants (8%) Marsupials (7%) Kangaroos, koalas, wombats Rabbits and hares (1%) Primates (4%) Monkeys, apes Carnivores (3%) Lions, tigers, bears Other (4%) e.g. pangolins, hedgehogs, sloths Note: Wild mammal biomass estimates come with substantial uncertainty; some groups have poor population records, and are therefore estimated based on modelling from factors such as the range size of particular animals, and extrapolations of densities from more localized studies.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 14-OpenStreetMap

Here is a 3D OpenStreetMap visualization of Osogbo, capturing the city’s building footprints and road network from an elevated perspective. The model highlights the density, structure, and spatial patterns that define the urban landscape.

Chae Won Lee uses the Overpass API to visualize current coffee shop density in New York with an interactive map. Here's a snippet.

This collection of stories around the photobooth is so uplifting www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... and it also reminds me of one of the most beautiful digital stories ever www.danielmeadows.co.uk/gallery/vide... - Polyfoto by Daniel Meadows. It will warm your heart. 📷

Who supports Reform and why? The charts that show who favours Farage’s party Based on largest poll of supporters, these charts and maps show five distinct groups that could hand Reform a majority

This is a great article by @anlugonz.bsky.social and @ashleyjkirk.bsky.social analysing the Reform vote. Excellent use of visualisations to bring home the central point of just how disparate a bunch they are.

I made a Joy Plot map years ago in ArcPro, but I am using QGIS these days, so I figured this would be a great time to learn a new workflow. I will be posting the workflow on Day 23 - Process.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 6: Dimensions

I used the dimension of time to map Sussex, NB (and area), over the seasons in 2024, using images from Copernicus Sentinel 2.
I used ArcGIS Pro with tools such as georeferencing, raster clip, and splitting polygon feature layers.

People tend to form relationships with others with similar views, which can make election results feel surprising.
