World Thematic Map | Human Impact, Ecology & the Anthropocene | Atlas of the World, 10th Edition (711 × 559 mm) | Premium Finishes

A compelling exploration of humanity’s growing imprint on the planet, Human Influences: Into a New Epoch? examines how human activity is reshaping Earth’s natural systems. Published by National Geographic as part of the Atlas of the World, 10th Edition (Plate 12), this map presents a powerful visual argument that we may be entering a new geological era—defined by human influence.

From ecological patterns to the last remaining wild places, it reveals the scale and reach of human impact across the globe.
