Endangered Maps
I’m truly fascinated by these maps of sorts. I don’t speak Spanish, but I’m pretty sure they were created by Ogilvy for the World Wildlife Fund. They’re really quite beautiful and make you stop in your tracks. {via notcot}
P.S. Speaking of maps, the Handmade Map Association just announced a contest. They are in the process of putting together a book for Princeton Architectural Press, so start drawing because there’s a chance your map could be published (or win a print)! Get the full scoop here.

Those maps are pretty sweet. I can imagine something similar being done with intricate mazes. At first, that’s what I thought they were.

Those maps take my breath away.
(Just enough breath left to keep me alive long enough to type this comment.)
I am very excited about the hand-drawn map contest! Have been mulling it over in my mind…
