The visualization aims to give a comprehensive status of large African mammals. The visualization is unprecedented in its information and the design is novel and unique.
Things I liked in the visualization –
- The use of animal symbols for selecting the animal.
- The facing of animal to emphasize decreasing or increasing population.
- The highlighting of the area in Africa to identify the habitat of the animal.
Things for improvement
- The segregation of the animals is nicely done but the animals cannot be searched by names and identifying the specific species of deer/apes based on its silhouette is difficult for an average person.
- Selecting of animals based on country is not available. It would be nice to see the country names and borders as it would help an average reader.
- Metrics like the current numbers or the increase/decrease numbers/percentages can be added.
Although the addition of names of countries, animals, metrics like population will make it more interesting, I believe the visualization is fresh and unparalleled in showing the data about large mammals in Africa.
