For over 450 years, we have based our understanding of Africa, and the world, on a map that is wrong! In fact, you could fit the United States, China, India, Japan, Mexico and much of Europe into Africa and still have land to spare.
The Mercator map isn’t just about misrepresenting the size of the global South — it’s about power and perception. This needs to change.
We call the world to correct the map by adopting the Equal Earth projection, which more accurately reflects the true size of Africa.
