Created by a #German #cartographer, the 16th century #Mercator #map paints #Africa and #Europe as the same size when #Africa is actually three times #bigger. Now, the African Union has endorsed a campaign advocating for the more accurate #EqualEarth #projection. Read more here: bit.ly/4lE90aO

"Den världskarta som används i skolor, medier och på nätet bygger ofta på en projektion från 1500-talet. Mercatorkartan placerar Europa i centrum och förstorar områden nära polerna, medan länder vid ekvatorn ser mindre ut än de är i verkligheten."

Map projections in the news! And we cartographers are all relieved that it's not the Gall-Peters Projection again. The newer Equal Earth Projection is a much better alternative to Mercator.

#CorrectTheMap
The ‘Correct The Map’ campaign is calling for adoption of the 2018 #EqualEarth projection, which more accurately shows countries’ true proportions. The #AU says this aligns with its goal of “reclaiming Africa’s rightful place on the global stage.”

The @_AfricanUnion is pushing for the #EqualEarth Wall Map to be used in schools, replacing the inaccurate 16th century Mercator projection, which shows #Africa as being roughly the same size as Greenland despite it being 14 times larger. #CorrectTheMap

I support the #CorrectTheMap campaign with a global call for schools and organisations to adopt the #EqualEarth map projection and ditch the Mercator.
