The African Union has joined the call to replace the outdated 16th-century Mercator map which distorts Africa’s true size, with the Equal Earth projection, a map that shows the continent as it really is: vast, powerful, and central to our world. #CorrectTheMap

Led by @africanofilter and @SpeakUpAfrica1 , this campaign urges governments, schools, and international organisations to adopt maps that reflect Africa’s true scale and restore balance to how our world is viewed.
