Missing Migrants Map
The Missing Migrants Map visualizes the global distribution of migrant deaths and disappearances by rendering proportional circles on a natural Earth projection. Each circle’s radius encodes the total number of dead or missing individuals at that location. The map is built with React and D3, using `geoNaturalEarth1`, `geoPath`, `geoGraticule`, and `scaleSqrt` to size the hotspots. In SVG output, the landmasses are drawn from the world-atlas TopoJSON data via the `topojson` feature and mesh APIs. Data comes from the Missing Migrants Project’s CSV file spanning 2014–2022.
