Ecological Footprint, 2002

Ecological Footprint

Summary

This “Worldmapper” map shows ecological footprints by country. An ecological footprint is a measure of the area needed to support a population’s lifestyle. The ecological footprint accounts for both consumption and pollution. Territory size shows the proportion of the worldwide ecological footprint from each particular country. It does not show the ecological footprint per capita. Therefore, China and India, whose resource use per person is below the global average, still have very large ecological footprints because of their large populations. The United States also has a large ecological footprint; its per person footprint is nearly five times the world average.

The map is accompanied by two tables that show ranked lists of the ten countries with the largest and smallest ecological shoe sizes per person. There is also a bar graph that shows the average person’s ecological shoe size in different regions of the world.

Deportations from the Soviet Union

Deportations from the Soviet Union

Summary

Under Stalin, approximately three million non-Russians were deported to locations
in Siberia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

The deportations began in the 1930s from vulnerable border areas; for
example, 171,000 Koreans were deported from the Far East to Central
Asia.

A second wave of deportations began with the outbreak of war in 1939.

For each source, the map shows the dates of deportation and the number of deportees.
The identified sources or nationalities are:

  • Finns
  • Estonia
  • Latvia
  • Lithuania
  • Karachai Autonomous Region (the Karachai (or Karachay) AR was abolished in 1944)
  • Crimean Autonomous Republic (Crimean Tatars)
  • Balkar Autonomous Republic (*)
  • Chechen Ingush Autonomous Region
  • Kalmyk Autonomous Republic
  • Volga German Republic
  • Meskhetians, Kurds, Khemshils, Azeris
  • Koreans

(*) The map is incorrect in that the Balkar District, which was established in 1921, became part of the Kabardino-Balkar Autonomous Province in 1922; in 1936 it was upgraded to be an autonomous republic: the Kabardino-Balkar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.
In 1943 the Balkars, accused of collaborating with the Germans, were deported, and the area in which they had lived, the upper Baksan valley, was ceded to the Georgian SSR. The Kabardino-Balkar ASSR was then renamed.

Condom Use by Men, 2002-2004

Condom Use by Men

Summary

This “Worldmapper” map shows condom use by males aged 15-24 by country. Territory size shows the proportion of all males aged 15-24 worldwide who used a condom the last time they had high-risk sex. High-risk sex is defined as sex with someone that the man is neither living with nor married to. Country size does not take population into account. Therefore, countries like the United States with high condom use per capita may be shown smaller on the map than countries like India, with a lower level of condom use per capita but a larger total population.

The map is accompanied by two tables that show ranked lists of the ten countries with the highest and lowest percentages of males using condoms in 2002. There is also a bar graph that shows the percentage of males aged 15-24 using condoms by region.
