It's true, all map projections distort the earth in some way. Feel like you need to start from the very beginning when selecting a map projection? Try @mapsforbabies
You will not find a projection that is suitable for all maps. All projections distort the earth in some way.
However, this projection chart might help you to choose one: shorturl.at/xHZ25
What is your favourite map projection? #GISchat
Baby's first word could be "map", just sayin

This year, there is both urgency and opportunity to give biodiversity a starring role with its own ‘Paris moment’, in the form of an ambitious & durable Global Biodiversity Framework. – TNC global managing director for climate change, Leonardo Lacerda. nature.ly/3CFJi1k
Protecting and stewarding land helps fight against biodiversity loss. This is why @landscapesoft is so important - get tools specifically designed for conservation into the right hands and the work gets done that much more accurately and efficient.
The 5 key drivers of biodiversity loss have been identified by the @IPBES and include:
1️⃣ Changes in the use of sea and land
2️⃣ Direct exploitation of organisms
3️⃣ Climate change
4️⃣ Pollution
5️⃣ Invasive non-native species
