Where The Animals Go: Big Data And Design

Putting elephants and penguins on the map with James Cheshire

For thousands of years, tracking animals has meant following their physical traces – footprints, fallen feathers and nests. But cutting-edge technology is revolutionising our ability to map the movements and behaviour of animals.

Award-winning geographer James Cheshire reveals how he and designer Oliver Uberti worked with scientists and wildlife experts around the world to collect billions of data points, from tracking elephants to counting penguins, and bring them to life visually in their new book.
