This map is a cartogram that distorts the geometry of regions to convey specific information by resizing. The box on the bottom left refers to the Macaronesian islands (Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands). It only includes terrestrial Natura 2000 sites for EU-28 (SPAs, SACs, SCIs and proposed SCIs).

Methodology:
Country polygons taken from the "wrld_simpl" dataset form the R library "maptools" and were distorted by the "cartogram_cont" function from the R library "cartogram". The size of the country shows the number of Natura 2000 sites in relation to the country size.
