Pixelated Population
published on
I’m a fan of data visualisations and this campaign, resurfaced from 2008, depicts the amount of animals in a certain species by the amount of pixels used in their image. This is a great way of visualising and unfortunately some of the images put it in a rather worrysome perspective :( Yet it’s a neat and creative way to display the information. I suppose the numbers aren’t correct anymore, since it’s been 10 years, and hopefully you’d think they would have improved again by now…

Update: According to Wikipedia there were ~562 tigers around in 2015, so maybe that’s good news for 2019 onwards.
