Poorly-designed Map


I consider this to be a poorly-designed map for several reasons.  I found this map in an article about the concern of deforestation in a rural area. It provides no data concerning deforestation whatsoever, thereby missing the target audience.  Perhaps providing data on acreage and species of forested area to be lost would have been a better choice. The use of the text boxes is more distracting than informative; I also became confused trying to follow the arrows. The data provided in the text boxes is also in the legend.  Much of the information provided is also redundant.
