If the post a brighter future revealed the possible destinations for the masses of migrants moving around the planet, this image from Natural Resources Conservation Service within the United States Department of Agriculture may tell us where they come from. A global population density map represents the number of people per square kilometer around the globe.
While the map confirms what we’ve known for a while about India and China, it highlights some other countries that we don’t hear too often such as Bangladesh and Indonesia.
For the hard figures, check the list of countries by population.

Ah my attention was immediately drawn to the south-west corner of the arabian peninsula. The popu;lation density there is really high, especially if you figure that that region is mostly in Yemen. One of the poorest countries in the world.
The richest countries, also the ones attracting lots of immigrants, are more lighter of colour.
Btw, West Africa is a source of concern. Pop. density only growing and the instability as well.
Very cool twist in blog content you’ve put up here. I’ve enjoyed my visit and will look in on you’re posts regularly. Keep it up.
