Human Influences Wall Map
This map poses a question geologists are still arguing about: has humanity pushed Earth into a new epoch? National Geographic answers it with cartography rather than commentary, layering global ecological patterns against the measurable footprint people have left on them. It reads as a single argument built from five connected panels, making it a strong anchor for environmental science units, sustainability offices, and conservation nonprofit lobbies.
- Mapping Ecological Patterns, showing how the planet’s living systems are classified and distributed
- Human Influences Over Time, tracing the expansion of human impact across history
- The Human Influence Index, a global measure of the human footprint
- Last of the Wild, identifying the areas least altered by people
- Planetary Stewardship, framing the management question going forward
- Published by National Geographic as part of the Atlas of the World, Tenth Edition series, now sold as a standalone sheet
Map Shop finishes it in house: satin lamination front and back, quarter inch foam core mounting for pins, black or walnut rails, or full framing.
