Robert Muggah, global security expert and research director at the think tank Igarapé Institute, knows. Earth TimeLapse, an interactive platform created by Muggah and Carnegie Mellon University, details over a 15-year span from 2000 to 2015 where migrants are leaving and arriving.
Data comes from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Each red dot represents 17 refugees arriving in a country, while yellow dots represent refugees leaving their home country behind.
The resulting maps are nothing short of mesmerising.
