Atlas of the Week: EJAtlas

https://ejatlas.org

The atlas I chose for our “Atlas of the Week” is the EJAtlas. Created by multiple environmental justice organizations around the world, the EJAtlas is a platform that catalogs local environmental impact studies and marks their findings on an interactive map. The EJAtlas specifically focuses on illuminating the detrimental impacts of mining, industrial plants, fracking, etc. on marginalized communities. On EJAtlas’s website, viewers can see the locations of harmful environmental practices, click on various community studies, and overview the relationship between high levels of environmental disturbance and local health.
