Endangered Earth - Published 1997 by National Geographic
Global Environmental Map | Biosphere, Resources & Human Impact | Large Wall Format (1171 × 736 mm) | Premium Finishes
A powerful and thought-provoking map capturing the growing tension between human development and the natural systems that sustain life. Published by National Geographic in 1997, Endangered Earth presents a global perspective on a planet in transition—where the balance between natural regeneration and human demand is increasingly under strain.
This visually compelling work reveals how expanding populations, land use, and resource pressures are reshaping Earth’s ecosystems—offering both a scientific overview and a clear warning about the fragility of the global biosphere.
Why This Map Stands Out
A global environmental perspective
Illustrates how human activity is transforming Earth’s natural systems.
Focus on interconnected systems
Shows the relationships between atmosphere, land, oceans, and living organisms.
Highlights real-world pressures
Examines the impact of population growth on forests, farmland, and natural resources.
National Geographic authority
Combines scientific insight with clear, engaging cartography.
A large-format statement piece
At over a metre wide, it creates a strong visual impact and invites reflection.
🗺️ What the Map Shows
- The global biosphere and its interconnected systems
- Regions affected by deforestation, land use change, and resource pressure
- The impact of population growth on natural environments
- Changes to Earth’s “green skin” of vegetation across continents
- Interactions between atmosphere, oceans, land, and ecosystems
- Key areas where environmental stress and threats are increasing
