==============

Javascript application and libraries for mapping international trade using

[d3.js](http://d3js.org/)  It runs in the browser, and you can import data

from CSV files, view the trade on the map, filter by various columns, and

zoom and pan around the resulting map.

What is TradeMapper?

--------------------

The illegal trade in wildlife threatens some of our planet’s most iconic

species such as rhinos, tigers and elephants, and evolves rapidly; taking

advantage of new routes and other opportunities to avoid detection. To

understand and manage the ever-changing trade effectively, scientists and

conservationists need to work with large volumes of data that describe

international movement of wildlife and wildlife products (like ivory and rhino

horn). This helps them understand the spatial patterns of trade, and determine

what factors are influencing it and how these can be addressed.  These findings

then need to be communicated clearly and effectively with decision-makers and

the public.  Only then can solutions be found, and wildlife protected.

To help, we built TradeMapper: an open source interactive browser-based tool

that maps international wildlife trade flow data, allowing users to visualise

the global trade in wildlife.  TradeMapper offers a way to explore trends, both

historical and geographical, in a way that is simply impossible when dealing

with dry numerical data in a spreadsheet.

But ultimately, TradeMapper is not limited to wildlife data - it can map

international trade of any variety.
