At a time when there's more maps than ever, and a public appetite for them, it's a disgrace that talented cartographers are being furloughed while amateur hacks publish nonsense. Please contact @JWGoldsmith or Aly Ollivierre if you care about, or need, bloody good maps.

Did you know that if you get an additional last-minute data point to add to your map, there's a 94% chance that it will fall exactly onto one of the large, curved labels that you spent a half an hour getting the perfect placement for?

It's #EndangeredSpeciesDay. There are 719 endangered animal species in the U.S., and you've probably never heard of many of them. Last summer, Soren Walljasper and I made this interactive map showcasing a different one in every U.S. state: nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/0…

The Sonoran Desert's most important spring is in trouble. Many worry groundwater withdrawal for border wall construction could doom this spot, sacred to the Hia-Ced O'odham, the only US home to 2 endangered species. My latest for @natgeo nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/0…

You gotta see this map of Hobo the lynx's gobsmacking 2,174-mile journey across the Arctic. On June 14, 2018, he climbed more than 6,000 feet high into the MacKenzie Mountains. Cartography by Soren Walljasper for National Geographic! nationalgeographic.com/animals/2020/0…

This graphic right here, from Soren Walljasper ‘s at #nacis2020, REALLY highlights the important design/thoughts in layering, coloring, & visual hierarchy that cartographers consider to ensure specific pieces are brought to the fore or pushed back. 💯 #design #gischat #cartography

Soren Walljasper, National Geographic cartographer, shared some helpful tips, such as, using Label Masks in Adobe to make labels easier to read, in his presentation 'Contextual Labeling: Bringing Thematic Mapping to the Next Level' at #NACIS2020 today! Great presentation!

Panther researcher Brian Kelly thinks that if enough open spaces & wildlife corridors are preserved, the panther's breeding range could reach N. Florida in a few decades. From there they could make it into neighboring states w/ plenty of good habitat. Map by Soren Walljasper
