Geographer James Cheshire and designer Oliver Uberti have recently published an amazing book called Where the Animals Go. It is composed of 50 maps that shows a secret life of wild animals captured with GPS trackers,*satellites, camera traps, drones, and other tools. The data were gathered from scientists from all around the world and beautifully mapped.
Here are a couple of examples:
The map below shows tracking data from grey-headed albatrosses that reveal how some birds stay home while others follow the winds to make a 25,000-kilometer migration around Antarctica.
Another map show the vertical movement of birds. Many of them use updrafts to get to higher altitudes in their search for food.
This*map reveals the spatial behaviour of*jaguars in Peru mapped with GPS trackers and*camera traps.
Another*map shows how Australian crocodiles, relocated from human habitats have*soon found their way back to the same location.
Last but not least*a map based on a study of baboons living along the Ewaso Ng’iro River in Kenya that shows*how groups of the animals decide when it’s time to move.
Amazing project!!!
